Love those old musicals!!
12 Oct 2000
I love those old musicals, and Gordon Macrae's wonderful baritone makes this one of my favorites. Macrae is a Clark Kent-ish anthropologist: mild, scholarly, and uninterested in love, also disguised as "the man of action" El Khobar, the secret Riff leader, dedicated to protecting the desert people in time of need. To spice up the plot enter Margot: the vibrant and capricious general's daughter who is searching for excitement and love. Add to this the hilarious gossip columnist who will risk anything to get his story, a jealous palace dancer rival for El Khobar's love, a dastardly villain, and a hauntingly beautiful musical score, along with the backdrop of the beautiful African desert. This operetta acheives a wonderful balance of romance, comedy, action, and music that you just don't see anymore!

the riding, scenery, true romance and above all the music
7 Aug 1999
the only thing that was a little disappointing was some of the backdrops when not being shot on location. It was very refreshing to watch a movie that had good old fashion romance and was just wonderful etertainment without all the gore, blood and guts, foul language and no-talent actors.
