By the Gods!


David Farrar and Ann Blyth, as Princess Shalimar, in THE GOLDEN HORDE (1951) 

A short movie, at 77 minutes. Even so, it's entertaining and the score is robust and memorable. I like this movie even though it had obvious limitations in regards to its budget. The dialogue is lively but sorta repetitive. How many times did they say Samarkand? I feel like I'm the only one who likes it or remembers it.

I like it very much. It is out on a beautiful quality DVD from Germany.

Probably you're right. Many people saw these films but don't remember them and they are not easy to find, at least here in my country. Anyway I really miss the days when the names you heard all the time were Samarkand, Tortuga, Rodhes, Ruritania, Alexandria, Kilimanjaro,etc...
