Certainly the most respectful 1960s American movie about arabs. I'm arabic and i can tell you: in the movie all the arabic words are right, the arabic writing is right too, the names are real arabic names. I think it's first non-historical movie who tried to respect arabs. Plus it's showing true arabic issues and make the public aware of many things that's really happening in the arabic world. Plus it's fun, not boring at all and of course wonderful Sal Mineo is here to give us the sexual tension we all enjoy. I don't know what to ask more. It's an amazing movie and it is so underrated! - @Saturday, June 23, 2018 9:13 PM

On a scale of one to ten, as a B-Rated Film, I give this movie a ten. It has a great cast, superior writing, and enough action to keep the story moving forward with ease. This is everything an excellent B-Rated Movie should be, and you used to be able to watch it on YouTube for free. The copyright laws are being applied unevenly and unfairly. In the years to come, YouTube, and like minded sites, will eventually displace Hollywood. The future control of entertainment will be taken away from the mean spirited little minds in Hollywood, and placed directly in the control of artists and fans! Twenty-five or thirty years from now, it's gonna be a whole new ballgame! - @Saturday, April 29, 2017 4:56 PM
