She is a 1965 fantasy adventure film by Hammer Film Productions and Seven Arts Productions, based on 1887 novel She: A History of Adventure by H. Rider Haggard. It is directed by Robert Day and stars Ursula Andress, Peter Cushing, Bernard Cribbins, John Richardson, Rosenda Monteros, and Christopher Lee.

Production

The re-filming of the H. Rider Haggard novel – which had been filmed previously in 1908, 1911, 1916, 1917, 1925 and 1935 – was the idea of Kenneth Hyman of Seven Arts Productions, who had a long-running relationship with Hammer Film Productions. Anthony Hinds commissioned a script from John Temple-Smith, and the lead role was assigned to Ursula Andress, known at that time for her role in the James Bond film Dr. No.

Hammer pitched the project to Disney, who turned it down. Hinds then arranged for Berkely Mather to write a script, but the project was turned down again by Universal, and then by Joseph E. Levine and American International Pictures. Hinds passed it over to Michael Carreras who got David T. Chantler to rewrite the script. Carreras succeeded in getting the film financed through MGM, with triple the usual budget for a Hammer film.

John Richardson was cast after being spotted by Ray Stark of Seven Arts. This was his first leading role in a British film for the actor, he had previously starred in the Italian horror film Black Sunday (1960).

The film was announced in May 1964. Although Seven Arts had helped finance several Hammer films, this was the first one they had produced together.

Principal photography commenced in southern Israel's Negev Desert on 24 August 1964, with scenes also shot at MGM's Elstree Studios near London when Hammer's Bray Studios proved to be too small for the project. It was the most expensive film Hammer had made up until that time, but on release, it was a hit both in North America and in Europe.
