		In 1926, in one of the rare cases of a sequel improving on the original, the lively and rollicking The Son of the Sheik arrived.

		In 'The Son of the Sheik' he attained a smoothness, a perfection of performance that could well serve as an authoritative example of interpretative pantomime.
		'Son of the Sheik' demonstrated that he was quite able to step outside his manufactured image, analyze the Valentino mystique with tongue firmly in cheek, and still give the public what it desired.
		It is not difficult for us to believe that he paid for 'Son of the Sheik' with his life, that he had not the physical resistance to throw off the strain of his last location trip which took him into the bitter wastes of the Arizona desert.

	The Son of the Sheik (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The son of the sheikh falls in a love with a gypsy dancer in spite of the huge difference between both of them in terms of social and financial status; this gypsy girl is the center of the story around which all the conflicts take place.
		First, the conflict starts when he feels betrayed, the sheikh’s discovery of his son’s love affair, and finally, the confrontation of the good side represented in the sheikh, his son, their men, on the other hand the evil side represented in the gang, which captured the son of the sheikh and manipulated the gypsy dancer.
		Romantic in the love scenes between the son and the dancer, the sheikh and his wife; suspenseful in the scenes of the son’s capture, the son’s confrontation with the gypsy girl, the sheikh’s confrontation with the son, and the confrontation with the thieves at the end of the movie.

		When the Sheik learns that Diana is taking a tour in the desert, he decides to kidnap her and take her to his sumptuous tent with the intention of making her his bride.
		"The Son of the Sheik" also displays Valentino stripped and tortured by the evil bandits, and the filmmaker is confident enough to include elements of comic relief found in the relationships between the thieves.
		Interestingly the VHS version of "Son of the Sheik" was filmed with those sepia color tints but on this disc it's in fl and white which is an improvement.

		It may have been considered so at the time, but to a modern audience, Son of the Sheik is full-blooded, romantic, silent melodrama at its very best and played with complete sincerity by everyone involved, with the exception of a couple of minor characters provided for comic relief.
		A sequel to (and vast improvement upon) Valentino's 1922 blockbuster The Sheik, the 1926 film casts the legendary Latin Lover in the dual role of the now-older Sheik and his son Ahmed.
		Rudolph Valentino had made Son of the Sheik in hopes of boosting his slightly flagging career; while it succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams, Valentino, alas, had died just before the film was released.

	Silent Era : DVD : The Son of the Sheik (1926) Review
		The split-frame cinematography that allows Rudolph Valentino to play both the sheik and his son is excellent and shows no sign of frame jitters between the two exposures.
		The Sheik’s Physique (192?) is an odd little fiction film of Valentino (complete with long, pointed sideburns) driving to the beach and, to wow female viewers, changing into a swimming suit to spend a leisurely afternoon relaxing.
		The Son of the Sheik (1926), color-toned fl and white, 68 minutes, not rated.

	Son of the Sheik Movie Review (1926) from Channel 4 Film
		Valentino's swansong is also one of the earliest examples of sequel-making in cinema (as the follow-up to his 1922 smash The Sheik).
		Here, the legendary silent star takes on dual roles as both the first film's hero and his son, who lands in a whole heap of trouble after he becomes smitten with the daughter of a jewel thief.
		Valentino, who died before the movie was released, handles both parts well, while the film's obvious melodrama is typified by some deliriously over-the-top revenge sequences.

		Here, he plays that Sheik's son, who subverts his father's authority by leaving his compound for a week to woo a dancing girl (Vilma Banky).
		The girl is a member of a group of thugs, though, and although she doesn't have anything to do with it, he blames her when he is kidnapped by the thugs and tortured for his money.
		Valentino appears onscreen as both Ahmed and as the Sheik, and it is difficult or impossible to find the line dividing the screen.

		But Kalif, the son of the Sheik (Robert Shaw) has good guys on his side: his servant Kamir (Dan Gunther); Princess Serena; and Jasmine (Sarah Vanek), Serena's handmaiden.

		Ahmed, son of Diana and Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan, falls in love with Yasmin...
		This was designed as a rollicking and sexy adventure film, with large doses of cheap slapstick humour, and on that level succeeds admirably.
		That famous scene where Valentino ravishes Vilma Banky is extraordinary, and Valentino shows real talent in portraying both the son and the father (he is almost unrecognisable in the latter role).

		Sheik Isa ibn Sulman al-Khalifah, who became emir in 1961, was determined to diversify his country's economy, and he set about establishing Bahrain as a major financial center.
		He was succeeded by his son, Sheik Hamad ibn Isa al-Khalifah, who gave himself the title of king but also began a sweeping democratization of the country: censorship has been relaxed and draconian laws repealed, exiles have been repatriated, and the stateless Bidoons have been granted citizenship.

	Silent Era : DVD : The Sheik (1921) Review
		It is a well known and often told story that Rudolph Valentino was a largely unknown actor when he appeared in The Sheik (1921), the film that shot him into the rarified heights of an international film star.
		The film, based on a ‘scandalous’ British novel, seems more than a bit melodramatic today, with its ‘forbidden’ interracial love elements and its sappy story of a privileged and self-determined society woman who is knocked-down a peg or two by the desert and its inhabitants.
		Featured with The Sheik on this DVD is the film’s sequel, The Son of the Sheik (1926).
