Yankee Pasha (1954)
9/10
Errol Flynn and Tyrone Power by all means, but Jeff Chandler has something more
8 May 2020
This film is crowded with action, adventure, intrigue, pirates, duels, fighting, rebellion, escapes, romance and what not. Jeff Chandler is always a pleasure to wartch on the screen, and all his films are invaluable for his sake. Rhonda Fleming is not a bad match for him, showing the hard way that she can fight for herself as well. The story is mildly speaking adventurous, he comes down from the mountains, finds Rhonda, falls in love, learns that she is to marry someone else, prepares to go back to the mountains, but then she breaks the engagement, but before he has returned from the mountains to get her she has left America with her father for Europe. On the way she is abducted by pirates and brought to a harem in Morocco, where she goes on fighting, while Jeff keeps on following and tracing her. Of course, the whole thing can only end up one way.

It's great Hollywood fireworks all the waty, splendid entertainment, beautiful girls galore (all in the harem), gorgeous sports and contests, a lot of riding and horse racing, so you will be kept busy all the time with no possibility for any sleep, which if anything is a perfect warrant for a good film.
