BEAU'S
NOTES: Was this one of Louis L'Amour's favorite films? Yes. Does
that matter? No. This is simply the best movie ever made. It has
everything, incredible adventure, a political allegory of shocking
timeliness, a SIZZLING romance between two people who don't ever
really touch each other, amazing visuals, a fantastic script,
great performances ... and it's drop dead funny. Not a comedy,
but a good hard laugh every few minutes. I can't say enough about
it; an absolute must see!
An American woman and her children are kidnapped by a Berber/Arab
chieftan for political reasons involving the Sultan of Morocco.
United States President Teddy Roosevelt and his "big stick" diplomacy
get involved. Meanwhile, the captor and captive, while they may
not actually bring it to any kind of physical relationship, fall
in love, and the Rizuli ends up being her saviour rather than
her kidnapper, and a truly honorable person.
