Description:

It has a great soundtrack. A digitally remastered version should be created. There are very relevant themes from the 1970s in this film. The heroine Ellen is a woman who has to make great sacrifices to achieve her own freedom of spirit. The men in her life are a mixed bag of tricks. Her chosen lifestyle to live with nomads is a very "hippy" theme. I love it.

I watched the movie because I read the book and listened to the soundtrack since I was a kid. But the editing is some of the worst I've ever seen. They used a butcher's knife to edit this movie. Scenes cut in and out at the wost places - the theme soundtrack cuts in abrubtly and ends just as abtrubtly. The movie lacks passion or the sense and feel that it deserves. Watch it if you must, but you'll probably be disappointed just as I was.

I've always had a soft spot for this movie, which was filmed mostly in and around Esfahan, Iran in 1977 while I was living and working there. The script unfortunately doesn't do justice to Michner's novel, but the scenery is beautiful and Mike Batt's soundtrack is exceptional. Some of the acting is truly awful and borderline embarrasssing (particularly Joseph Cotten and Michael Sarrazin).

I heart a lot of bad things about this film but was happy to have it finally 30 years after I first heart the fantastic soundtrack by Mike Batt. And that's one plus of the DVD, you get the soundtrack as a bonus. Well the film itself is as bad as expected (worst performances, uninspired direction), so no surprise on that. But the technical standard tops it all. My first impression was it's an illegal copy, picture and sound are as taken from a very very old VHS-tape, no digital remastering (as it says on ... Read More

Having waited over 25 years to finally see this film I must say that I have ended up with rather mixed feelings! A mediocre script does little justice to the deep and emotive themes in Michener's stunning novel. The author's empathy for the people of Afghanistan, his appreciation for the societal and political conflicts within post World War 2 Middle East and his understanding of the complexities of the rebellious young spirit are regrettably lost in this screen adaptation of the book. However, the movie ... Read More
