A major star in Yugoslavia and several parts of Europe, Fehmiu won film
awards and definite heartthrob status in his native land before
venturing out internationally. His American debut in a starring role
with a huge, star-studded, international cast backing him up was poorly
acted and the epic film a complete misfire. The Adventurers (1970)
ruined any chances for Fehmiu to achieve similar stardom in
Hollywood.
