The Desert Hawk

A remarkably decent cast fail to enliven this rather verbose and dull Arabian Nights adventure based around the legendary character of "Scheherazade". This time she (Yvonne de Carlo) is the daughter of the Caliph who is tricked into marrying "Omar" (Richard Greene) in the belief that he is the Prince "Murad" (George Macready). Nobody is very impressed by this arrangement, the Princess demands the head of "Omar" and off we go on some colourful desert shenanigans during which the Princess realises that she might just have backed the wrong horse! Sadly, though, it is all just descends quickly into a routine sand and scimitar story as the men vie for her affections whilst pursuing wealth and power at the same time. It looks quite good, but the dialogue is pretty stilted and even with Jackie Gleason and a bit-part from Rock Hudson, it never really flows - indeed, much of the time it is just too meandering and lacklustre. Pity, though - better writing and direction could have made more of it.

Gooey adventurous

This is entertaining for a tale about the mideast intrigues, the title hero is a rogue superhero like person in a red robe, one thing is this has Sinbad and Aladdin relegated to comic relief sidekicks, and the Sherherizade (of 1,001 Nights) as the romance interest switching with villainess, if these famous characters are included they gotta at least live up to their names, however enough satisfying action here against routine Califs and about the title Desert Hawk as battling against the taxing fiendish people, the checklist of things is harems, people in rugs, slave markets, turbans, dungeons, some good palaces here.
