About the Film: Produced by Edward Small and directed by King Vidor, Solomon and Sheba brings ancient history to life through the story of Israel’s King Solomon, who must confront betrayal, war, and a passionate political entanglement with the powerful Queen of Sheba. With grand visuals and unforgettable performances, this classic is a must-see on the big screen.

About the Series: This screening launches a new film series honoring legendary independent producer Edward "Eddie" Small — a bold visionary born in Savannah, Georgia, whose seven-decade career spanned vaudeville, silent film, and the golden age of Hollywood. The Edward Small Legacy Classic Film Series celebrates stories behind the stories — the artists and risk-takers who shaped American entertainment. Whether you’re a classic film fan, a history buff, or someone who just loves a good tale of ambition and artistry, this event is for you.
