Review :
Dreadfully dumb D movie
This is one of those awful 1950s movies that was geared towards the teen drive-in movie crowd. It centers around John Derek as the goofy man-boy who falls in love with the spoiled princess and must rescue her from the ambitious and evil sultan that wants to marry her. This movie has lots of shots of John Derek flexing his muscles and looking boyishly cute for the camera close-ups. Fortunately, it also features lots of 1950s beauties in full make-up and with 1950s hair styles riding horses and camels in the desert. The lack of realism and the cheesy costumes are good for a few laughs. It seems like some of the costumes were borrowed from local night-club acts. The turbans are also good for a few hoots, as some clearly look like a towel was wrapped around a hat. It is funny to watch the cute Amazons riding their horses in the desert sun, considering the fact that all of these pretty ladies are incredibly pale with milky white skin. In some scenes you can notice the desert backdrops because of the shadows reflecting off of them.
