Yes! It is!MissGoddess wrote:I really must see more Valentino movies. I'll never forget the huge impression he made on me as a young girl, when I happened upon his Son of the Sheik on television one night. I think that was my first exposure to that particular flavor of exotic eroticism. Such themes were really the vogue in the 1920s, influencing literature, fashion and decor, and especially films. Is SotS on dvd? If it is, I will definitely rent it on Netflix.
In fact, The Shiek/Son of the Shiek are on a double bill DVD, and if you rented that one, you could see both!
This is what you are looking for:

Just have a cold shower handy.
