 MGM used Brynner again in "The Journey" (1959), opposite Kerr under the direction of Litvak, but the film lost money.So too did "The Sound and the Fury" (1959) based on the novel by William Faulkner with Joanne Woodward.However Brynner then received an offer to replace Tyrone Power who had died during the making of "Solomon and Sheba" (1959) with Gina Lollobrigida.
