The romantasicing of a violation of human rights, sexism, human trafficing. Disgusting.

This one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is rather dumb, poorly conceived and written. The acting doesn't rise near a high school production. It is a piece of comic book propaganda. Don't waste your time.

a chain of nice clichés. but interesting for cast, clash between civilizations, romanticism ,atmosphere and the remember of a lot of sweet legends about Middle East. the performance of Art Malik is really interesting. the presence of Ava Gardner in a cold role - almost seductive. Omar Shariff, as fictive sultan , does his ordinary role in exotic B film. but the great virtue of film is to present the spirit of "80's. the glamor, the ambiguous lights, the soap opera potential, the life as dream, the love as large circle. the second virtue - the atmosphere from Arabian Nights with precise number of drops from freedom, condition of woman in Orient at the beginning of century and flavor or rare images. a film who could be more than easy delight. but a letter from far land of memory.

romanticism, clichés, a dramatic-pink story about a fictional Ottoman Empire. and decent performances. it is enough for the success of a film who preserves more the air of "80țs cinema than the traces of the stories about harem created by foreign visitors. sure, it is a nice film. sure, it is part of a long series of films recreating the past in nice frames. and, more important, it is a good occasion for admire the right actors, in the right roles, doing the expected performances. so, Harem.

First of all, the casting was not bad at all. Omar Sharif really looked the part as Sultan Hassan. Jessica Grey, played by Nancy Travis looks American enough, but is not really the sexiest choice for a kidnapped woman who is sold into slavery to serve as the love plaything/possible wife of an Ottoman leader. Spoiler Alert! Why bother making the film at all, if not to write some scenes of real passion between Sharif and Travis? I've seen more action on the 6 o'clock news. A long soap opera, only worth it if you love long made for television novellas.

I wanted to see a Part 2 to know the fate of Jessica & Tarik. Art Malik and Nancy Travis made me want more. There was a TV Series but how was it written? Mr. Art Malik was outstanding and I just wanted more of him in his role of Tarik with Nancy Travis as Jessica. This movie had me asking for more.

I loved it. Art Malik was dreamy and I loved their first stare, WOW!!!! The plot was good. The acting great, it was a Romantic film. I stayed up for the 3 showings. This is one movie ABC has not repeated and that alone was soo disappointing, ABC aired it. In 86', I wondered about that. What year and if I could find it and Order it.

In my opinion this is the best TV mini-series ever made. I have only ever seen it on television once and at one video store (no longer open). Art Malik played a great part and I have enjoyed several of his other films. If you have not seen this series I advise that you do so - definitely 10 out of 10.
