The Son of the Sheik
1926 · TMDB 6.1
Directed by George Fitzmaurice
Ahmed, son of Diana and Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan, falls in love with Yasmin, a dancing girl who fronts her father's gang of mountebanks. She and Ahmed meet secretly until one night when her father and the gang capture the son of the sheik, torture him, and hold him for ransom.
Why it matters
Rudolph Valentino's final film, a sequel to The Sheik, turns the desert romance into a swashbuckling adventure with a twist: the hero is the son of the original, and the tone is more playful and self-aware.
