Léonide Moguy was an international film director with a talent for international films, but among his best works was the Italian and award-winning "Domani é troppo tardi" with Pier Angeli, which was also marked by great masterful scenes of mass upheavals, which this film also is dominated by. It is set in Damascus in Syria, far from Arabia, in the beginning of the first world war, so don't think for a moment this is a second world war spy thriller. There are spies indeed, most of them are disposed of on the way, but George Sanders is the only character the film is worth watching for. You do miss Lawrence of Arabia here, and the film was shot entirely in California. Also there are no Turks, although the Arabs are bellicose enough, and the story is not easy to follow in its tendency to constant over-complications. It is good entertainment though, and the two ladies are both oriental dreams of delight. You can give it a chance, but don't expect any lasting impressions.
