John Derek is himself quite excellent is his role as the great lover who goes into tents to charm the women there and knows well that he can; in one scene he charms Amanda Blake (later "Miss Kitty") temporarily.
Derek plays well this handsome lover and is very convincing in his role; he does well as the barber and much later a prince. The beautiful Elaine Stewart also portrays well the beautiful princess Fawzia, spoiled calaph's daughter who, up to a point is very mean.
This movie is an "Eastern", since the setting is Persia of the eleventh or about the twelfth century.
We men have to be honest: what man wouldn't want to have as his traveling companion Miss Stewart? Come on, guys! Again, she is convincing as the princess who touches Hajji's heart and, for a while, even breaks it.
Since the acting is, again, convincing, since the Persian desert gives a "you-are-there" feeling, and, since there is a beautiful icon, to me this qualifies as a an outstanding cinematic me this, and any more is a favorite of mine.
