For what it&#8217;s worth, I find <em>&#8230;Harem Keeper<\/em> marginally less offensive than its more infamous predecessor; apparently the script was intentionally toned down to try to appeal to a wider audience, leaving <em>IHK<\/em> a rather standard &#8217;70s exploitation flick with plenty of t&#038;a, exaggerated violence, and hiss-worthy villains strewn throughout its typically preposterous plot. This time around, I was better able to appreciate Thorne&#8217;s ludicrously campy performance as Ilsa &#8212; but since I&#8217;m really not the target audience for flicks like this, I&#8217;m unable to say much more in its favor; it&#8217;s only must-see for diehard fans of the genre, and all others can feel free to stay away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dyanne Thorne&#8217;s no-holds-barred campy portrayal as Ilsa<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Ilsa-Harem-Keeper-Thorne.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Ilsa-Harem-Keeper-Thorne.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"478\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Ilsa-Harem-Keeper-Thorne.png 810w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Ilsa-Harem-Keeper-Thorne-128x75.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Ilsa-Harem-Keeper-Thorne-300x177.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo. Listed as a Cult Movie and Trash in the back of Peary&#8217;s book. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0074670\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitallyobsessed.com\/displaylegacy.php?ID=273\">Digitally Obsessed Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You have the instincts of an Arab, Ilsa.&#8221; Synopsis: The domineering harem keeper (Dyanna Thorne) for an oil sheik (Jerry Deloney) tortures a spy (Haji) while falling for a studly American visitor (Max Thayer).
