Indeed, it shows clear evidence of how far Valentino&#8217;s acting range had evolved since his laughably one-dimensional performance in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=24935\"><em>The Sheik<\/em> (1921)<\/a> (which consisted of little more then leers and melodramatic eyebrow-raising); here, playing both the Sheik and his son, his expressions are much subtler &#8212; it&#8217;s not just the elder Sheik&#8217;s graying hair that allows us to differentiate between father and son. Meanwhile, the original film&#8217;s disturbing premise of love borne from captivity has been replaced by a refreshingly <em>mutual<\/em> attraction between young Valentino and Banky; their sexual chemistry together is palpable, and makes for enjoyable eye candy. With all that said, <em>The Son of the Sheik<\/em> is ultimately little more than escapist fare; the fact that it&#8217;s more palatable than its awful predecessor isn&#8217;t saying a whole lot. However, I am recommending it as a &#8220;must see&#8221; title to film fanatics, simply to see Valentino in his final role. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rudolph Valentino in dual roles as the Sheik and his son<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Valentino-Young.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Valentino-Young.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Valentino-Young.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Valentino-Young-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Valentino-Young-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Valentino-Older.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Valentino-Older.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Valentino-Older.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Valentino-Older-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Valentino-Older-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Plenty of sexual chemistry between Valentino and Banky<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Sex-Appeal.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Sex-Appeal.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Sex-Appeal.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Sex-Appeal-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Sex-Appeal-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Fine cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Cinematography.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Cinematography.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Cinematography-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Son-of-the-Sheik-Cinematography-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, simply to see Valentino in his last &#8212; and arguably his best &#8212; role(s). <\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Historically Relevant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0017416\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/silent-volume.blogspot.com\/2009\/04\/son-of-sheik-1926.html\">Silent Volume Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/title\/326475\/the-son-of-the-sheik#articles-reviews?articleId=60064\">TCM Article<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Like all youths, he loved a dancing girl.
