Thank you for helping me remember the name of this film! I recalled the plot and the images, but the title has been eluding me -- and small wonder after some 45 years!

First, a factual comment: I distinctly recall references to Damascus during the desert scenes, so I wonder whether the reference that it is set in "North Africa" might not be in error? It may have been filmed there, but if my recollection is accurate, the screenplay sets it in Damascus, Syria.

Second, what brought this great film to mind, was "Three Burials of Melchiades Estrada", a great film, which I saw just the other day, and which kept bringing up images from the "Eye for an Eye".

Thanks, again, I am delighted to find this Website! Andara
