The Sheik (30-Oct-1921)

Director: George Melford

Writer: Monte M. Katterjohn

From novel by: Edith M. Hull

Keywords: Romantic Drama

After a socialite Englishwoman's caravan meets disaster in the desert, Lady Diana Mayo is rescued/abducted by Sheik Ahmed, who instead of immediately ravishing his prize decides to ply her with kindness and respect. Throwaway production which became an unexpected hint, making Valentino a superstar and even instigated a brief Arabia-craze.
