12/14/2021 Boyd and Wolheim start out as US POWs trying to escape Germans during WW 1. Eventually they find themselves on board a ship bound for Arabia. They rescue an Arab woman, Mary Astor, who turns out to be a Princess and a romantic triangle ensues. The film is well photographed and directed. Wolheim stands out for his performance. The story isn't as strong as it could be.

I have recently found his first silent feature Seven Sinner (1925) in Australia & I was keen to see his silent work...this particular film is a delightful comedy about two POW who escape an War Camp as Arabs & accidentally land in Turkey. The humor is predictable but the film is fun & moves along nicely...Mary Astor unbelievably portrays an Arab Woman but who cares she is the damsel in distress...a fun comedy that's worth a watch.

See more 04/30/2009 Excellent silent film by Lewis Milestone about two soldiers from WWI who become POWs and manage to escape to Arabia. Very amusing with some hilarious moments throughout (I loved the joke with their frozen white gowns). There are some pretty amazing moments as well, the first scene of the film where the two soldiers are fighting in the pit and the Germans surround them is quite incredible. This won Milestone Best Director for a Comedy Picture at the first Oscars (the only time the award was given).
