This film or miniseries is not quite what I expected when I purchased the video. Ava Gardner is definitely not in her best role as the Kadin, Omar Sharif seems bored by just being in this movie, and Art Malik as the rebel is not at all convincing. His perfect british accent makes you wonder why he even returned to his country to start a rebellion. Nancy Travis seems to accept her fate with nonchalance. Sarah Miles, as the wife of a sheik! . Give me a break. Who wrote the screenplay? Well, I purchased this video, watched it once and put it away....
