kerim, son of the sheik (1962)


aka Il figlio dello sceicco. Son of the Sheik.
"Whip harder!"
Omar (Alberto Farnese) is an evil and brutal leader, who maintains control by force. He seeks to legitimise his leadership by marrying the reluctant Fawzia (Cristina Gaioni), favorite niece of the current Khaleef. But then his brutal tactics result in the death of a young woman whose brother, Kerim (Gordon Scott), vows revenge. To do so Kerim starts a revolt, becoming a Robin Hood of the desert, rallying many to his cause, but can he overthrow the evil Omar?
Of course he can, this is a peplum after all, and as any peplum, expect muscled up men, beautiful and deadly women and lots of adventure. Light-weight but entertaining.
