Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Steineded How sad is this?

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

jackpresscot First of all, the casting was not bad at all. Omar Sharif really looked the part as Sultan Hassan. Jessica Grey, played by Nancy Travis looks American enough, but is not really the sexiest choice for a kidnapped woman who is sold into slavery to serve as the love plaything/possible wife of an Ottoman leader. Spoiler Alert! Why bother making the film at all, if not to write some scenes of real passion between Sharif and Travis? I've seen more action on the 6 o'clock news. A long soap opera, only worth it if you love long made for television novellas.

Armand a chain of nice clichés. but interesting for cast, clash between civilizations, romanticism ,atmosphere and the remember of a lot of sweet legends about Middle East. the performance of Art Malik is really interesting. the presence of Ava Gardner in a cold role - almost seductive. Omar Shariff, as fictive sultan , does his ordinary role in exotic B film. but the great virtue of film is to present the spirit of "80's. the glamor, the ambiguous lights, the soap opera potential, the life as dream, the love as large circle. the second virtue - the atmosphere from Arabian Nights with precise number of drops from freedom, condition of woman in Orient at the beginning of century and flavor or rare images. a film who could be more than easy delight. but a letter from far land of memory.

Janetnsync I loved it. Art Malik was dreamy and I loved their first stare, WOW!!!! The plot was good. The acting great, it was a Romantic film. I stayed up for the 3 showings. This is one movie ABC has not repeated and that alone was soo disappointing, ABC aired it. In 86', I wondered about that. What year and if I could find it and Order it.

Bunji In my opinion this is the best TV mini-series ever made. I have only ever seen it on television once and at one video store (no longer open). Art Malik played a great part and I have enjoyed several of his other films. If you have not seen this series I advise that you do so - definitely 10 out of 10.
