    Horse-orientated Arabian adventure
    Bedouin chief Tamerlaine (Jeff Chandler) is engaged in the hunt for the legendary black stallion Shahzada. Also chasing the prize steed is Tunisian Princess Tanya (Maureen O'Hara), who desires to capture the horse to race in competition against hated brothers Borka (Lon Chaney) and Hakim (Buddy Baer), so she will not be forced to marry one of them. After a prolonged and deadly rivalry, Tamerlaine decides to join forces with Tanya to trap the stallion - and in the process, the two fall in love.

    Intelligent adventure starring Maureen O hara and Jeff Chandler is beautifully shot, the landscapes and horse chasing are great, but it can be talky in between, and seems to be a bit ponderous, however, if it's a well-shot Arabian adventure with horses you're looking for, then don't look further....
