      ashley h Caravans is a decent film. It is about a low-level American diplomat given a dangerous assignment. Michael Sarrazyn and Jennifer O'Neill give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. James Fargo did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the action and adventure. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I came here when I wanted to and I'll leave when I want to. Ellen Jasper is the daughter of a US senator that has married a Middle Eastern general and joined his caravan in the Middle East. Mark Miller is a young, US Senator sent to retrieve Ellen. He has some hesitation but takes the mission since he has no choice. Once he meets Ellen, he is even more reluctant to force her to come home. "If you cannot see the light you're mad or blind." James Fargo, director of The Enforcer, Every Which Way but Loose, Game of Vultures, Forced Vengeance, Born to Race, and Riding the Edge, delivers Caravans. The storyline for this picture is just okay and fairly cliché. A few characters were interesting and the settings were well selected. The cast delivered okay performances and includes Joseph Cotton, Christopher Lee, Anthony Quinn, Michael Sarrazin, and Jennifer O'Neil. "Washington does not know what the hell they're asking for!" I came across this on Netflix and decided to give it a viewing based on its surprisingly high reviews (3.5 stars). I felt this was an above average addition to the genre. It wasn't special or classic in any way, in my opinion, and they made the caravan a mix of hippie and gypsy feel. Overall, not a complete waste of time but nothing special either. "In this country a wife is the property of her husband."

      Matt Brunson Film Frenzy This static adaptation of James A. Michener's novel is certainly no Lawrence of Arabia, despite the Middle Eastern setting, the presence of Anthony Quinn as a desert leader, and the large number of camels in its cast. Rated: 2/4 Jun 28, 2020 Full Review Augusto Martínez Torres El Pais (Spain) The film fails due to an insipid script and James Fargo's lack of skill. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 6, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Based on Mitchner's best seller, this mediocre Iranian-American political adventure suffered from the contex in which it was released.
