Citas
Achmed Abdullah: My gift cannot share your couch, my dear friend, but I know how much you love animals.
[he gestures towards a tiger]
Achmed Abdullah: . Does she please you?
The Old Man of the Mountain: Ohhh... a well-matched exchange, worthy of two old friends who trust each other.
Achmed Abdullah: It is difficult to fully trust a friend whose face one never sees. I would consider it a friendly act if you removed your golden mask.
The Old Man of the Mountain: It is a friendly act that I do not remove it. All who see my face - die!
Achmed Abdullah: But your assassins
[gesturing towards them]
Achmed Abdullah: all see your face.
The Old Man of the Mountain: And all die. And go to paradise the moment I tell them their time has come.
Achmed Abdullah: But the women... the women you love, surely you remove your mask for them?
The Old Man of the Mountain: Oh, if you only knew how much it hurts me to lose so many loved ones...!
[he sighs heavily]
The Old Man of the Mountain: Do you still wish me to remove my mask?
Achmed Abdullah: Who me? Did I ask for that? No!

Only for the sake of the actors!

Denys de La Patellière it's not one of the great masters of the French cinema, I don't know to what extent the lack of directorial talent or the lack of super screenplays... This film, without the presence of some great actors, starting with Anthony Quinn, would be very boring. The other big names, Omar Sharif, Akim Tamiroff, Bruno Cremer, Robert Hossein, Orson Welles, Massimo Girotti, Grégoire Aslan, Folco Lulli, are OK in a completely uninteresting story. Horst Buchholz is not a great actor, he's just a nice boy, the forever adolescent type. The beautiful Elsa Martinelli also has a small role.
