Yes, it is a rehash of the 1950 King Solomon's Mines and it bears little resemblance to the 1931 Trader Horn nor to the book by Ethelreda Lewis Horn, but it does have Rod Taylor which, for me, outweighs all the negatives. Just as Stewart Granger 23 years before, Taylor is a convincing noble and steadfast hero, which sadly is an anachronism in today's films.
