Featured review
This film held up extraordinarily well, and the picture is better than a majority of films made in the following decade. I would expect nothing less from an MGM film, of course.
I really loved the costumes in this film. The acting was good, of course, especially with a very attractive John Gilbert as the lead. There are some moments where the story gets overly-complicated, but the writing process had to undergo several changes (at one point even the director was switched), but despite that, I think this was a great movie. It survived a myriad of drama off-screen to become an excellent adventure romance on screen anyway.

Storyline

- TriviaComposer Robert Israel was commissioned by Turner Classic Movies to compose a new orchestral music score for their new High-Def broadcast edition, which aired on their network on June 1, 2014.
- GoofsIt's never explained how Lukashka and his men return home from the Sultan's palace after the road they took to get to the palace is destroyed.
The road wasn't destroyed but blocked. Though it would take time, the Cossacks would have been able to clear it. Also, there often are different routes between two places, especially on horseback. There is no requirement that a film explain every detail.
- Alternate versionsTurner Classic Movies broadcast this film in a new High-Def edition on June 1, 2014 with new orchestra score by Robert Israel.
