The Sheik(1921)
“A photoplay of tempestuous love between a madcap English beauty and a bronzed Arab chief!”
Overview
Sheik Ahmed desperately desires feisty British socialite Diana, so he abducts her and carries her off to his luxurious tent-palace in the desert. The free-spirited Diana recoils from his passionate embraces and yearns to be released. Later, allowed to go into the desert, she escapes and makes her way across the sands...
