Thank you for showing this beautiful movie. I can see it a hundred times and never tire of seeing it Omar sharif is wonderful and so is Julie Andrews. Omar has the most beautiful,romantic and warm smile. Rest In Peace Omar. Miss you so much.
How sweet.
I Love the film are all good❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
I first saw this in the theater in 1974 as a teenager, and it has resonated with me ever since then. The last part of the movie, from Omar Sharif sneaking the "Blue File" out of the embassy to the gun battle on the beach in Barbados, was fast paced, suspenseful and dramatic.
Even though I already knew how the movie would end, I actually cried this time when I saw Julie Andrews' reaction to finding out that Omar Sharif was still alive. I didn't expect that reaction on my part, and it really speaks to the quality of her acting and the rest of the cast in this and other movies that I grew up with in the 1960s and 70s.
Spoiler alerts, yikes…
Muhteşem di hepside...
The great Omar Sharif with gorgeous Julie Andrews... just like a fairy-tale. Fantasy at it's best. True qualities are never lost, they do find their own ways to win our hearts over & over again for decades after decades.❤
Incredible. Such a wonderful movie with no nudity, no car chases, and only one very modest shooting scene.... True masterpiece.
What is wrong with nudity?
@@geraldmiller5260 Well... nothing. Providing what you want to watch is a film for intelligent humans and not a documentary.
Whenever there is a chase, it's where the director run out of ideas.
@@geraldmiller5260 what prices nudity? 🤔🙏
A nude car chase would have been good.
Omar Sharif is one of the most handsome actors of his time--of any time. Great movie.
He's very appealing the way he behaves but his actual face is dog
This is one of my favorites. Blake Edward's Julie's husband directed. Love Blake and with all the great actors I can't believe this was not more of a success!
Julie was miscast and was very boring.
One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen
Such amazing acting by two iconic actress and actors ❤
Thank you for making me want to watch the movie, but not giving away the whole plot.😊💐
Julie's profile is soooo recognizable, amazingly beautifull!
I love it. Especially her little nose! 😭💙💙💙
Especially at the end
What a gem of a movie!!! Far better than James Bond. The romance between Julie Andrews and Omar Sharif is so touching and subtle, both love each other dearly.....Sharif being so persistent and Andrews so careful. I keep on watching this movie over and over again just to enjoy the romance between Omar and Julie. Thank you for this high resolution upload.
Most decent of you to give the bloody film away.
A very rare combination
V good acting
V good movie
Omar was awesome as a romantic lover boy in a black and white Arabic film called Nahr Al Hob. He and his future wife Faten Hamama made a great pair. He is of Lebanese origin but the accent here doesn’t sound Arab nor Russian
@@mallutornado how does it sound?
@@elsahilario529 Tough one. Possibly a very tame, neutral Indian accent. Any opinions from others here
What a fabulous film, beautifully portrayed. Julie Andrews seems so innocent and beautiful while Omar Sharif must be one of the most handsome actors that ever lived. Even in his later films, as an old man, he still was so handsome and a pure gentleman. A great film, thank you for the upload.
He was
Yes, I would say that there never was a more beautiful pair of romantic leads than Julie and Omar in this movie

@@samueldavidrucker7514 Not as good as Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman... Just saying.
@@banba317 Or Tyrone Power and Linda Darnell or Jeannette MacDonald and Clark Gable....
Assuming that adults are watching and commenting it is amazing that they mix up the on screen and off screen personalities of the stars.They have been very true to the book in their potrayal of their characters,Omar and Julie.There is style,sophistication,refinement and charm displayed with ease and effortlessness which cannot be said of most stars of today.
@@maryearll3359 don't you agree with her
Why not
@@yashodadevi9287 Thank you for posting your question. I didn't understand what you meant so I looked back and saw my Nn, still don't understand why I did that - I've deleted it. I first saw the film about a year ago and loved it. I'm a very amateur singer and when asked whose voice I admire the most, the answer is Julie Andrews. I am very sad the operation ruined her vocal chords and ask myself to this day how does she come to terms with it? Her interview about it made me know she is as sweet as the characters she played; think Mary Poppins 😊. My first childhood crush was Omar Sherrif - I thought him so cool that he lived in the Ritz for a few years but never could master bridge - he was a world champion for a time. The film itself? I was always a sucker for love and I learned about the tamarind seed at the same time. Sorry for the lengthy reply - just wanted to put the record straight. Have a happy Christmas and thanks again 🤶😘
@@maryearll3359 😊
Merry christmas
Omar Sharif is such an amazing actor. Wish Hollywood would have used him more.
It’s unusual to not have at least one negative comment about a movie. It has earned all of the positive praise. Well worth the time. Thanks so much for the upload.
It’s must a greatly ideal film!
Pretty amazing how Blake Edwards could direct drama, comedy, musical and now thrillers throughout his long career. An all-round director.
He was Julie Andrews' husband, right?
@@llee8325 Yes!
And could write as well!
and be Julie Andrews husband

What a gem. Thank you for posting this incredible elegant masterpiece of “romantic-spy” movie.
I think I’ve must have heard before about this movie, but shame on me for not watching this before. A time when ppl truly created elaborated and very well constructed plots. Unfortunately nowadays, Hollywood seems to be plagued for ppl who barely knows how to write to “create” ( mostly borrowing from old movies) scripts that vaguely resembles a plot or storytelling. It’s all about explosions, gore and a LOT of sex, vulgarity and violence....
Watching a movie nowadays its like eating a meal without any salt, pepper and sauce...and mostly without any juicy steak on it.
The Tamarind Seed is a testament that a good well written plot with a few great and capable actors can be very charming, suspenseful and very entertaining. Unfortunately 90% that are thrown in the theaters will never get even close to the good flicks of the past,
Good thing we still have youtube to dig for some forgotten pearls from the past.
That’s about all it’s good for
No matter how many times I watch this film I never get tired of it.
Me too! Always loved this film...
Where are you from
Whatever you think of the film itself, let's have a hand for another magnificent and under-appreciated score from the one and only Mr John Barry...
BringMe Knitting. You better know it!😄😄
Ha! And I called it. Seems if I really enjoy a film score....it usually turns out to be John Barry's! ;-)
The score is a standout for sure. Its the main character for the montage like central scene of escaping to Barbados.
Many times the music makes the movie for me.
Amazing, both of them super stars. We don’t have anything so beautiful these days!!!
@@godisall2883 all that??...oouuhhhh...
Who's we?
A great movie.. Julie Andrews is magnificent and oh my. Omar Sharif.. Whew...
Blake Edwards did an awesome job!
Teresa... I'm a long standing heterosexual male but Omar... whew !
One of my favorite with both.
And Anthony Quayle was tremendously underrated as well..... He had a knack for playing those type of characters the spies or the officers in the British Army.
I came across this by accident. I thought it will be a bore. But was I wrong! Top actors, top script, top scenes, realistic, believable, palpable & extremely exciting. From slow paced, easy & relaxed beginning and builds up as you go along. Very exciting! A must watch. Thank you for this classic & extremely entertaining film. The ending was SPECTACULAR!
I too came across this by accident and I'm grateful that I did. Excellent movie. I thought it was going to be not so great but, like you, I was wrong! Love it!
Thanks it's was you're comment that convinced me to watch.....
Watching now
Watching ! Me too🎥
I never understood why this film didn't do better at the box office, it was excellent in every way. I was 16 when it came out, loved it. My mom thought it was bc people wanted her in singing roles again, but to me, she was also an excellent actress, and proves it here.
I remember that too! It wasn't a big hit at all --- can you imagine?! Your mom was probably right, Julie Andrews was a versatile actress but, post-Sound of Music, I think her popularity waned. Or perhaps appeared to; many of us still loved seeing her but Hollywood's style shifted (not for the better) and the executive honchos considered her "irrelevant" or some such nonsense! I thank the person who uploaded this movie; I've wanted to see it for many years and can't wait to finally view it!
I’ll bet this film did well in Britain. Americans were too removed from the Cold War to relate to this. I was in high school when this film came out. We were all about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Robert Redford, Jack Nicholson, etc., very American films. Cold War intrigue in Europe did not intrigue us at that time. Check out Three Days of the Condor and Chinatown for great American films from the 70’s.
Looking back hardly seems possible but many thought Omar Sharif had gone to seed by the time he made this film. He had changed, older than in Lawrence, greying hair. I just thought he got better and better
Actually intellectual people are very much rare in our society
It's because people expected her to fly so like James Bond spy with an umbrella instead of jet pack. That's what I was waiting for.
Watched it again tonight ... still had me on the edge of my seat. 'Wonder if it will effect my sleep tonight. RIP Omar Sharif. Hope you enjoy several more happy years with your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren (congratulations!) Julie Andrews; wherever you are.
your comment made me watch this movie. you are absolutely right. I regret today's filmmakers lack the ability to produce such movies and the audience lack the capability to appreciate them.
Omar sharif is died 😢
A very eloquent film....very handsome in the telling...not rushed...just the right pace. Julie Andrews has gorgeous eyes and a soul to match. Omar is a King...polite, cultured and handsome! Thank you for posting this intelligent film.
Julie Andrews exudes such uncommon grace, beauty and class. She steals every scene. Unless, of course, Omar Shariff, is playing opposite her. He’s equally captivating. A wonderful movie and superb performances.
Julie Andrews at her most beautiful, complex plot but subtle enough to follow, the Barbados scenery is amazing, the John Barry score is unforgettable, and the sophistication of Edward's direction of wife and Omar Sharif make this an almost forgotten winner. I saw it as a young person so thank you for posting it. It must be seen on your largest screen to convey its romance.
I think they could have cast a better actress.
@@jocoder-williams4306 I thought so too the first time I saw it, but repeated watches changed my mind. Love her in this film!
@@luang1975 Yes, I thought she was good, as was he, but he was too old to be a romantic lead with a much younger actress.
@@barbarapaige4587 she was 3 yrs younger than him
@@rpp4150 just looked Omar up in Wikipedia’s - they say he was born 1932; Julie was born 1940 😊
I first watched this movie sometime in 1983. I can barely describe the nostalgia I am experiencing. Superb movie and I can never forget the haunting score.
Julie deserved more roles like this where she could show more seious sides of a character.
She was also in the very serious Hitchcock movie, The Torn Curtain, with the delicious Paul Newman. She certainly worked with the best of the leading men throughout her career, even when she was playing a man in Victor/Victoria with James Garner. This movie was also written & directed by her husband Blake Edwards.
Didn't she have a stylist here tho? Really needed one.
A joy to watch. These were real movies, and real movie stars.
« If I go away and leave you in peace, will you have dinner with me » that’s a gentleman’s move.
Males are to chicken to make a move now. They are too busy online
not that it matters. there's a lot of people with aspergers or asexual from antidepressants.
la pace sia con voi hahahahaha
@@myhounddog DR
Too cheap too
Omar shariff was a great actor. May his soul rest in peace.
That was really interesting. I might watch it again. Easy to see why Omar was such a huge star. Julie was exquisite.
hi from Alexandria Egypt, never knew Omar acted in a British film , the beauty of the British actress is breathtaking . thank you for sharing : )
His hometown
RIP Blake Edwards, love your work , it's so fresh and entertaining even after all these years.
Indeed. recently saw him and his wife in an interview just about the time of the movie. There is a lot of him in the character.
A true classic.. Tamarind seed is a real masterpiece.. No question coz the director is the great Blake Edwards
Thanks for your kind response ❤❤❤
Just finished the movie..for me it was just julie acting ..the dialogue were so well written and masterfully delivered by her.she looks so elegant and graceful.
Maybe that’s because her husband wrote & directed the movie for her!
This 1974 romantic espionage drama has ALWAYS captivated me since I first saw it on HBO some 30 years ago. Julie Andrews and Omar Sharif have such *beautiful* romantic (if not intellectual) chemistry in their dialogue scenes.😍❤ Quite a (lesser known) cinematic gem of the mid 70's (heck, I was only a baby during the film's release😁😗)!!
Thanks for this insight Cassandra, always great to hear how our viewers first encountered these gems.
You're most welcome. This romantic spy drama just seems to have several unique ingredients that are missing from most romantic films today. Thanks SO VERY MUCH for the *beautiful* upload!!❤😗🌹
Thank you very much for uploading this, this is a hidden gem. I love old movies and this is definitely a great addition
She never got much schooling.
@@RetrospectiveMovies you don't have 1974's After the Fall, with Brooke Shields right?
This is the romantic version of Bond! It's always nice when two lovers have a secret or code that only two of them understand..😒
The romantic version of Bond is 'The Spy Who Loved Me', ignore the film as it bears no relationship to the novel.
This film is more like LeCarre's Smiley stories. Particularly 'The Spy Who Came in From The Cold'.
Привет!😀😀😀
What a movie! Interesting still these days. Omar is so charming 😍😍😍, no wonder women could not resist his charm)). He easily can play James Bond, it's puty he was underrated. Julie and Omar both are terrific actors!
Fascinating eyes he has!!. Big fan of him, and loved and all of his movies. RIP Omar Sharif
Great movie and clear copy to watch after all these years. So glad I came across it accidently here.
Really Thank you Retrospective.
I love this movie. I can’t believe I have never seen it. I love Omar and Julie. She is so versatile.
Thank you so much for this film.
Omar's eyes..told a beautiful strory..yet I see sorrow in them to. Both great Actor's..love this movie💓
A beautiful movie from the 70s. Thank you 😊
An under-rated classic. Realistic and deeply moving.
Agreed! An under-rated classic. Love this movie!!!
I did not expect the end to be this, but it is so wonderful. Praise and thank the Lord!
Agreed!

@@Bellinzona1000 ooo
Great movie! Thanks for uploading - and NO COMMERCIALS!!! Omar and Julie here might be the most beautiful pair ever.....She was great whether she sang or not....
Wow, Julie Andrews was absolutely gorgeous!
A very different role for Julie Andrews. Absolutely loved it ! Great pairing with Mr.Sharif.
They don't make movies like this anymore. Never seen it before, what a treat!
No you are right
Movie making has improved
But the movies are shyte
Thank god they dont!
@@imasomwon1982 what a stupid comment to make, modern movies are rubbish, I agree but where do you find movie making has improved???????
@@stuartlawsonbeattie1411 I think perhaps that Ima Somwon was trying to point out the difference between technical knowledge and actual content. I dunno. Just saying. I enjoyed this classic very much. Andrews and Sharif were great. As was Anthony Quale. I'd missed it at the theatre and not seen it before.Plus the bonus was the music of the great John Barry.
This was a Mega Hit
What a beautiful, elegant, deeply moving film. Both Mr. Sharif and Ms. Andrews are superb. Anthony Quayle gives an excellent performance. Thank you, Retrospective, for this gem!
Absolutely, Quayle’s cockney (i think) accent really impressed me!
Mrs July Andrews have not changed so much with years she keeps her charm now a days!
A film with incredible characters, even a Leonard Brezhnev lookalike.
"Seduction can have its compensations".
What an absolutely brilliant film.
The cinematography, the music, the scenery and the Stars, WOW!
I actually think Dame Julie Andrews is one of the most attractive, talented and eloquent actress' ever.
THe cast were superb but the whole movie hung on every move of her soft and inviting lips.
Well done for sharing, thank you.
I admire her too very much . . . but 'eloquent'? She's an actress; she's reading lines, so how can she be praised for being eloquent? Do you mean elegant? She is certainly incredibly elegant.
Unless you are referring to her demeanor off camera - but in interviews she always seemed so down to earth and girl-next-door, almost self effacing. Eloquent would be maybe Katherine Hepburn, who was very self-deprecating in the most pointed, socially conscientious way and immensely educated therefore articulate, but never full of airs, very frank, intimidatingly so, and utterly facile in her self expression -- or Jane Fonda, who was extremely influential and clear in her activism. Or Meryl Streep. But Julie Andrews? Like Judy Garland, she just seemed so down to earth and sweet, and rather disarming in her simplicity -- almost studiously plain speaking. Eloquent? Hardly. It would spoil her style.
Helen Lauer .
I AGREE... my most fav actress ever 👍
I enjoyed watching a good movie after a long time.Julie Andrews and Omar Sheriff acted so well tks
I enjoyed watching the movie.Julie Andrews and Omar Sheriff ate my favourite actors
A truly magnificent movie. There is not one movie today that I can compare this to. Beautifully and artfully directed by Blake Edwards, a must see for lovers of classic movie making.
Nice and sensitive review. Agree.
True
A time when the actor knew his/her craft drawing on technique and substance, rather than special effects to draw in the audience. The narrative played a crucial role in the characters relationship to one another, thereby creating a catharsis of emotions to deliver strong performances.
Excellent movie....I WISH they still made quality movies like this today...kept me enthralled from beginning to end...not a movie for today's generation who all seem to suffer from ADHD, and can only handle the crap Hollywood puts out now, fast paced, shoot em up, blow em up, sex riddled, ridiculousness....THIS is what a movie should be like, suspenseful, intriguing, and makes you have to think where it's going to go next...not the "you know how it's gonna end before it begins" shit they try and pass off as movie making nowadays...thank the powers that be for great, entertaining, captivating, art like this...
'NOTHING ON EARTH HAS GREATER CURATIVE POWER THAN THE JOY OF BEING REUNITED WITH YOUR LOVED ONE'.
Great movie. Didn't realize how really handsome Mr Sharif was and how charming.
He was so handsome
Watched three night in a row, coming on the fourth. Makes me weep. There is a true essence in Julie Andrews and Omar Sharif beyond their profession as actors. True emotion.
it was a movie, make-believe, not real, pretend, ACTING.
I did the same, can’t stop watching it!!
I love old movies ONLY and many were great, with REAL classy actors.
But there’s something about this movie.
Omar Sharif was a charismatic man, and his look….oh my! I can think of a hundred actors who had beautiful eyes. But none of them have this sparkling look.
It’s so sober. Clean. No nudity, filth, violence….Just a beautiful romance with 2 great actors.
@@kelkroteno, you are mistaken. He is acting and nothing wrong with it
One of the best romantic movies from the seventies. It's a real masterpiece!
And the husband was the director😅
Oh My! I loved this movie. It was very good. I enjoyed the way it had no violence and stupid moves. It was well played. I love Omar Sharif and Julie Andrews together in this movie. A good clean film and entertaining. I love spy movies like this. Keeps you wondering who is doing who wrong. I am 57 and I grew up with the clean movie era. I sure miss it today. Thanks for putting this movie on yourtube to watch.
Andrews & Sharif.....what's not to love!! A wonderful classic! I would imagine that Sharif could get anything he wanted.....with just the EYES!
But she didn't sing! It's like having your cake but not eating it too.
A botched minor operation on her vocal chords caused her to lose her beautiful voice. So very sad.
GreatWall OfMexico She wasn't meant to sing in this movie.
Was this supposed to enlighten me? She did a lot of serious drama and sadly her voice was destroyed. That's just plain old information I thought you might like to know. I could be wrong.
jeanne hageman Urm... I was replying to the other guy. And yes, I know she lost her voice. I'm a big fan of hers.
I saw this movie when I was 10 years old and loved it. Thanks for uploading. they don't make 'em like this any more!
Dame Julie Andrews is one of the most underrated actresses of our time. The small looks and actions, the inflection and intonation of voice.... all stunning.
hardly underrated. a huge star.
@@harmoniabalanza For singing, though. Not for acting.
Mary Poppins was an acting role, with some singing in it. She excelled at both during her working life.
What an entertaining film, full of twists and turns, great script and top-notch actors all round. I think very few women would have resisted Mr. Sharif's charms as long as Ms. Andrews did in the film!.....
Saw this movie many moons ago - it has stood the test of time. Nicely written - confusing - intriguing and most of all true to the fears felt in those years. I have enjoyed it thoroughly this time once again. What a jewel to find. Thank you!!!!
Glad you liked it! We've got more classic films on the way so stay tuned!
Hello😉
@@RetrospectiveMovies KEEPEM COMING ! ANTHING WITH THE GREAT ALAN MOWBRAY HE WAS MY LATE MOMS UNCLE SHE NAMED ME AFTER THAT GREAT STAR

"If I go away and leave you in peace will you have dinner with me?" These days not sure such an inquiry would receive a positive response even if asked with charming banter by Omar Sharif.
paxwallacejazz on the contrary....
All Blake Edwards films are good. His lovely wife, Andrews, also elevates anything she's in.
She was so proud ou f being married to him. She is elated when people praise his work.
Magnificent film, I felt like I was at the cinema in the 1970s :-) thanks!
I have never seen it before. great film
I love this movie. Beautiful. Love both of them. Xxxxxxxx
Hello Janette,
How are you doing ?
Thanks. One of Blake Edwards' best films. Looks great in HD. Cheers.
He always did her films
Love excetera excetera
Oh she wasn't in the King and i
Wow!This is so intense!You wouldn't want to take a break even if it's too long.
One of the best espionage thrillers I've ever seen. Much better than any 007 movie.
One of the best 007 films that never was ... on its original release I was too young, ignorant and naive to appreciate it ... how times have changed ... plot, script and casting couldn’t have been improved and the movie was enhanced by John Barry’s emotive score ... it certainly surpasses most recent productions that rely on action paced, shock tactics and cgi.
Thank God I found this movie sick of the world now days I want to go back I miss my mom an dad the good old days in Hollywood where I'm from Oregon sucks.. peace
Me too.....😥
I came across this by accident. I am so happy I did . What an extraordinary and simple film . No special effects . Superb acting and beautiful narration.
I mean Omar Sharif & Julie Andrews? Who does that? But it was perfect! Gorgeous time capsule.
This was Excellent ... Something about the 1970's, My Favorite Decade of Film Making * Loved It.
I loved that movie! Thank you so much! I turned 10 in 1974 so that was a bit mature for me. I love movies from the 70s, thanks again!
The 70s colour, absolutely superb. Clear and bright.
Wonderful and very enjoyable movie.
Two of my all-time favorite actors, Julie Andrews and Omar Sharif.
Highly recommended movie, watch it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and I am not generally a Thriller lover, but the suspense was really well-played out and the screenplay was very well written. Thanks for posting it.
Thank you for this exceptionally high quality upload!
You're welcome! We're glad you're enjoying the film!
Excellent film. Great John Barry score. Omar sharif wonderful an handsome actor. Watch this film many time never get tired of it the story with all it’s twists an turns
Loved this! Thank you. And Omar Sharif was such a beautiful man.
Needless to say that Blake Edwards was a movie director, as a matter of course the beautiful Julie Andrews looks even sophisticated.
Julie fans around the world will definitely love this piece, like me.
It is more than thankful since it was no chance to watch this movie in Japan.
Thank you for uploading!!
What a really Good Film, with a plot line successfully lacing together so many different story facets. As always, Omar Sharif is a rewarding joy. I thought at the beginning that Julie Andrews may have been miscast, but her character demeanor 'dove-tailed' into the plot almost perfectly!! The Russian players were well-cast, too. Nice photography throughout. Thanks Retrospective for the appreciated upload.
I met Omar in 1980 in the Caraïbes
He was on vacation with his entourage and stayed in our hotel
Handsome guy and very polite.
OS definitely knew how to interact with the main characters in the play. What a genuine and sensitive soul
Those with a knowkwdge of French shoukd watch Omar's interview given in 1967 from the INA archives.Gives one a glimpse of the person he was and such a treat to watch.Unprentitious,self-critical,honest and curiously untouched and distant from his life as a star a it were he was right to the end.One of the few male stars who has been described as beautiful by his co-stars and fans alike.
Swarnalatha Subramaniam
Exactly right! People who knew him said that he was a very kind and nice man. I love him in all his films.
@@nairaoganessova6185 Naira,so happy to know that there are others who feel the same way abou Omar ! He was one of a kind ! He gets resurrected every now and the, like the song Omar Sharif by Katrina Lenk or the marvelous article by Adam Badawi in the middle east version of the GQ 2019 under the title Czar of Charisma ! Our dear Omar continues to live on !
It’s a French interview? Those links didn’t work, is there another place to watch the interview?
@@sarahmountstudios3188 Rencontre avec Omar Sharif en 1967 INA Archive .Try this.It should work.
The quality of acting in this movie is excellent from top to bottom. I remembered Omar Sharif as just a pretty face when he was younger, but he did a fine job of acting here. Apart from the occasional sexist remark (appropriate to general attitudes when the movie was made), he was so charming. Also, I must give a special shout-out to Anthony Quayle as Mr. Lauder, who was terrific.
Julie Andrews was of course wonderful, as she always is.
Oh please..what "sexist" remarks were those? Just because a movie isnt infected with the feminist garbage that the current culture and movies are plagued with doesn't make it sexist. It just means the 70s were the last period when men and women behaved like they are supposed to... and where women looked like women and actually appreciated and wanted men.. which is not what you see in modern movies with obnoxious, toxic "strong empowered" masculine women who are apparently better than men in everything and relish humiliating and emasculating men, and can never stop repeating how they are "strong" and "independent" and dont want or need men.
he's a great actor, I was lucky enough to see him on stage ! in brighton !
What a classic. Great acting and music. No nudity and violence yet suspenseful. I love watching these gems from the 70s.
Saw this as a little kid in Sri Lanka with my family. Still remember it. Thanks for the opportunity to be able to watch it again ☺️
Saw this at the theater when I was 13... Blew my ignorant little mind then. Fifty-six now. Still fairly ignorant, still blows my mind...
Lucky you!!!
I saw this movie in vhs 25 years ago and still it's a fresh to me
Don't feel bad, Mr. Blythe. I lived with an important, active terrorist for 8 months, without knowing it.
I saw it at Radio City Music Hall when I was 12. Great movie.
I saw this at youtube, today for the first time. Interesting story I am ignorant however less so then years ago, we keep on learning!
What a wonderful movie. The music is so touching.
One of my all time favorites. Omar Sharif is brilliant and so realistic
Julie Andrews, a classic beauty
I remember very well when this film was filmed here in Barbados as I was able to watch quite a bit of it actually being filmed and was even offered to be one of the back ground figures through the contact of one of my friends but I was too busy at the time raising my two young children and refused the offer.
As a Barbadian, it is good to see many beautiful parts of our island on screen. It was also good to see Omar and Julie close up. Not one of the best movies but not boring.
I wonder if that tamarind seed is still in the Bridgetown Museum.
Nice story to hear.
Bless you!
I meant to say;there was another movie 🎥 that I liked,called;Billion Dollar Brain from 1967.This was a spy 🕵️♀️ movie that was based on a book 📕 by;Len Deaton.
Spectacular film. They don't write love stories like this anymore. Wow !!!!!
A real masterpiece. Omar elsherif did a spectacular performance as usual. He's a real source of pride. May his soul rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏
Never saw it before I was 7 yrs when it came out. The beach reminds me of my Island Penang back in old days before the development. Great movie and good acting.
I saw Penang too. We livred there in the 80s
My! What a Beautiful Place.👍:)
