Rating:  - Tamerlane & Princess Tanya
While I would not call this movie excellent, or even great, it's really pretty good. I have to admire that they really didn't use a set, it was mostly shot outdoors. Yes, California had to substitute for Arabia, but oh well. I'm not a horse lover, but the horses were beautiful. The only thing I can say I didn't care for was the hero, Tamerlane, for much of the movie, appeared to be much more interested in acquiring & taming the black stallion, rather than acquiring & taming the heroine, ...

Rating:  - Consign this one to the flames
Regrettably, there's no provision for awarding this a zero. This film was a waste of Technicolor and an even bigger waste of the talents of its two principals.

No one in the cast is an Arab - not even the horse - but Flame of Araby ... Read More
Rating: - CHANDLER gets my VOTE any day
Pretty mediocre stuff here. The best asset of this movie is the presence of Jeff Chandler. Chandler gets my vote any day, but not this film. If you like costumes deserts and horses you might otherwise enjoy this film. Gossamer filming at its best. Jeff Chandler was an American icon. Jeff Chandler was a rugged, virile leading man characterized by his steel gray wavy hair, high cheekbones and a muscular physique. He starred in action films from the late 1940s into the early 60s, often as American Indians, ... Read More
