  5. rich diet lean ma …. o very nice movie, i wish it would quickly end, thank god it's only over one hour long, but feels like it's over three hours long like titanic, cinema paradiso and gone with the wind … ave maria!

  7. Very funny and peculiar to see how the West viewed Arabs/Muslims and Oriental cultures. A very narrow minded and orientalist view with so much fanaticism. I enjoyed the movie tho

  10. The portrayal of North African Amazigh is absolutely ridiculous. These people Had absolutely no idea what Amazigh societies or language look like 🙁 For entertainment purposes only.

  17. And not to be confused with that "other" Garden of Allah: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_of_Allah_Hotel "The Garden of Allah became home to many celebrities and literary figures. F. Scott Fitzgerald
    lived there for several months in 1937–38 at the beginning of his final
    stay in Hollywood. He wrote himself a postcard while there: "Dear Scott
    — How are you? Have been meaning to come in and see you. I have living
    [sic] at the Garden of Allah. Yours, Scott Fitzgerald." Fitzgerald's biographer and lover Sheilah Graham later wrote a book about the place, titled simply .

  18. I love old colour movies especially the 1920 – 1949 colour movies.I love Technicolor.I hope to see the new project of three strip Technicolor process again!!!

  19. This is a visually stunning sumptuous colour picture with an absolutely marvellous Max Steiner score and a wonderful cast of largely non-American actors. The stars are gorgeous and the other characters all more than pull their weight. However, it's from a creaky old 1904 novel, there were 2 silent movie versions first, and it's based on now very dated concepts that are laughed at by youngsters – religious calling, duty, obligation, decency and the belief that you put what is right ahead of your personal needs and feelings. Nowadays, he'd just text the recipe to the monastery and be done with it! Dietrich was a goddess-like star, unreal and not of this world. It's quite hard to accept she is roughing it in the desert with all that coiffure, maquillage, haute couture and dinner party settings, but it's the Golden Age of Hollywood escapism, it's a fantasy genre that is now ended. I suppose modern audiences will have huge issues about the cross-cultural casting but for me it's a pleasure to see these fine actors in supporting roles. Not long after this, Tilly Losch, the exotic dancer here, married the Earl of Carnarvon and became his Countess, so her home would have been Highclere Castle, or as we also know it today, Downton Abbey!

  22. My father's uncle, William Howard Greene, won the Academy Award for cinematography for this film. He won two more: Phantom of the Opera and A Star is Born. He lived in Brentwood across the street from Joan Crawford. My father went to visit them in 1946 and bought pickles from Joan's mother out of their basement.

  25. Tedious, cloying, melodramatic, from Boyer's overacting to Max Steiner's incessant attempt to create dramatic tension while nothing is going on. Even Dietrich can't save this shallow sentimentality, and she too seems forced to overplay her angelic virtue. The conflict between faith and love could be the basis for a good film, especially if there were a hint of questioning of the pointless self-denial of blind devotion, but here there is just caricature and superficiality.

  36. Little did these actors/actresses know that the whole world would be in conflict in just a few short years. They are all dead now and yet they are immortalized in this gorgeous film.

  37. "Because through your love I have love Him."

    And that's the way it has always been. To love Me is to love your neighbours.

    'Marry, O people, that from you may appear he who will remember Me amongst My servants; this is one of My commandments unto you; obey it as assistance to yourselves.'

    – Bahá'u'lláh
