    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Gordon agreed to film Kerim with Italian actors & crew in Egypt, he was also set to appear in an Egyptian version of the same film. The Italian or European cast and part of the crew was replaced with an Egyptian cast, while Gordon remained and re-shot the same scenes with the Egyptian actors.
    • Goofs
      Though Gordon Scott receives at least 18 lashes while being flogged in the dungeon, his back only shows a few bloodless welts which never increase in number.
    • Quotes

      Omar: [while supervising Kerim's flogging] Well now, speak. Where are those arms?

      Kerim: Haven't I convinced you yet? I'm not going to tell you. Why don't you go find them yourself?

      Omar: I'd expected you to say that. Whip harder!

    Obscure Gordon Scott feature
    This film is rarely listed in reference books or Movie guides, but is an excellent example of the sword and sandal genre & an interesting entry in Scott's filmography.

    Even the IMDb does not list this title in an English version, but a dubbed and anglicized version is in circulation, if you hunt around long enough.

    For those of you who are interested in seeing this film, a copy is available @ Movieflix.com (membership required), although the print available (listed on the site as "Son of the Sheik", with no mention of Gordon Scott as its star) is smeary, with poor sound and super-imposed foreign subtitles.

    Its availability on MOVIEFLIX is a slightly better option than never seeing it, but not much.
