The Sheik (1921)

An Interesting Piece of Film History

The film really is interesting... has few exciting moments in it from chase scenes to the threat of murder. Also has some very romantic scenes that can easily have one swooning.

The story isn't all that bad and although today it seems standard or basic by today's films - it must have really been something else in it's time period! Story of two men that fall in-love with same woman and one of the men happens to be a sheik that takes the woman into his palace to keep her.

The film is also a good example of why women loved Valentino... he's very appealing in this movie.

7/10
