Editorial Review:
Description:
An American is kidnapped by a rebellious Arab chieftain, principally as a means to embarrass the Sultan of Morocco. This abduction sparks the threat of armed intervention by President Theodore Roosevelt.
Amazon.com:
The up-and-down career of director John Milius had no finer moment than The Wind and the Lion, a dandy adventure tale. It's based on fact: An American (played by Candice Bergen) and her two children were kidnapped in 1904 Morocco by a Berber tribe, an international incident settled by President Theodore Roosevelt's "big stick" military muscle. The film's sweep and swagger are unabashedly old-fashioned, even as Milius occasionally pokes fun at the grand characters. Some of the peripheral material is sloppy, but as long as Milius keeps his sights locked on the two powerful protagonists, he's dead-on: Brian Keith makes a gutsy Roosevelt, and Sean Connery is in splendid form (with Scots accent in place--got a problem with that?) as the dashing Berber chieftain. Perhaps overshadowed by John Huston's The Man Who Would be King the same year (Huston plays advisor John Hay in this one), Wind makes a marvelous companion piece. --Robert Horton

Though opinions of the film may vary you won't hear too many bad things about this soundtrack. Even the plain Jane single disc version has a bevy of stirring tracks and tender moments making it one of the more interesting soundtracks of the 70's (because let's face it, musically, the 70's have a lot to answer for!).
The score by Jerry Goldsmith utilises some interesting signature sounds as the composer tried to convey an Islamic feel, a North African bent to proceedings. Some ... Read More

I first saw this in 1975. I took a group of Samoan boys to watch it in Pago Pago. They loved it, the Raisuli was a really heroic figure.
It's in our DVD collection, but I haven't seen it again until I just glimpsed it on TNT this evening. It hasn't lost anything over the years, but one line in particular made me pay attention. The Raisuli is talking to his captive, Mrs. Peridcaris, watching two men trabsfer water from a well into a bucket. Something like> "When one bucket empties, another ... Read More

It has been a flop somewhat undeserved in certain countries.
As action&adventure movies goes it has everything in spades! (the only real problem been that the actual Raisuli was never near the SEAN CONNERY type! HA HA HA HA HA!!! (lol)... actually better do not look on history books and see the real picture of this "bandit" (for western standards...).
The cast is perfect (I just love Candice Bergen's acting... since SOLDIER BLUE...), and the action scenes very good if a bit unbelievable (quite ... Read More

We were looking for a movie that would better describe the life in Arabia. This was a good historical perspective, I think, not taken too far out of context.

What a great and timeless movie! Sean Connery and Candace Bergen are a great match; with all their cultural differences and personal strength they find that, although each has met his/her match, they learn to like and respect the other. Brian Keith was a perfect choice for Teddy Roosevelt; he makes you think that it is himself on the screen! This movie is fun and exciting and a great period piece.
