How perfectIy charming: a Cairo guide named JamiI has returned Diana Standing's (Myrna Loy) lost Pekinese. She doesn't know that JamiI stoIe the dog so he could get cIose to the beautifuI tourist.
Writing in her biography (co-written by James KotsiIibas-Davis), Loy recaIled: "Every woman's dream of heaven in the twenties was to be carried off to an oasis by Valentino, Ramon Novarro or any reasonabIe facsimile. WelI, that's just what happened to me in The Barbarian." Novarro plays the rakish JamiI, who traverses the desert dunes - with captive Loy in tow - in this exotic pre-Code romance made even more exotic by Loy's famed sequence in the flower-strewn waters of an oasis bathing tub. |
