Watusi is a 1959 American adventure film, starring George Montgomery, Taina Elg, and David Farrar. Directed by Kurt Neumann, the film is a sequel to the 1950 film King Solomon's Mines. It was produced by Al Zimbalist and Donald Zimbalist. The screenplay was by James Clavell loosely based on the 1885 novel King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard.

Production

The film was originally known as Return to King Solomon's Mines and was the first movie produced for the studio by Al Zimbalist since he signed a contract with them. Director Kurt Neumann had just made The Fly (1958), which was written by James Clavell, Watusi's screenwriter. Taina Elg was under contract to MGM at the time and had just made Les Girls for them.

The film reuses some footage from a previous MGM adaptation of the novel, King Solomon's Mines (1950) starring Deborah Kerr and Stewart Granger.

During filming, Irma Neumann, wife of director Kurt, died. A few weeks after filming completed, the director himself also died.
