Arabian Love

Arabian Love is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by Jerome Storm. Its survival status is classified as being unknown, which suggests that it is a lost film.

Themar, the daughter of a sheik, is jealous of Normans interest in Nadine and she tells Nadine that Norman is responsible for her fathers death. Upon confronting him, Norman admits that her husband had several clandestine meetings with his sister and that he was accidentally shot to death in his presence. Although she is initially mad, their love for each other proves to be more powerful. They eventually become a couple and leave the country for America.Arabian Love was made to profit on the success of The Sheik 1921, a film which romanticizes sheiks and Latin lovers. Most films John Gilbert made at Fox Film Corporation flopped, but Arabian Love became a great success. Gilbert was praised for his portrayal of a sheik, but the actor himself loathed it and made sure he later would not appear again in that sort of character. Barbara La Marr was praised by the critics too, with the film magazine Moving Picture World stating that the forlorn lovesickness of the sheiks daughter is unusually effective. ........
