THE SON OF THE SHEIK North Texas Chapter of the American Theater Organ Society Silent Film Organ Concert
In this visually intoxicating sequel to Valentino's career-defining film The Sheik, the silent screen's greatest lover portrays a cultured yet untamed young man who is lured into a thieves' trap by a beautiful dancer, Yasmin (Vilma Banky). After escaping, he kidnaps the damsel and holds her captive in his desert lair, dressing her in Arabian finery and threatening to unleash his violent passion upon her.
Plot is almost inconsequential in Son Of The Sheik. The film's sultry beauty and torrid power are derived from the exotic romance which saturates every frame with lavish set design by William Cameron Menzies (The Thief Of Bagdad) and lush photography by George Barnes (Sadie Thompson). Son Of The Shiek proved to be Valentino's final film. He died suddenly on August 23rd, 1926 at the age of 31, shortly following the picture's release.
