Title Note

Shot in Panavision; color by Metrocolor.

This story is loosely based on a historical event. In actuality, the kidnapped victims were a 60-year-old American man and an Englishman, not a woman and her children. Theodore Roosevelt handled the situation diplomatically; the Marines did not invade.

Additional cast: Simon Harrison (William Pedecaris), Polly Gottesman (Jennifer Pedecaris), Deborah Baxter, Jack Colley, Chris Aller (Roosevelt children), Shirley Rothman (Mrs. Roosevelt).

Additional credits: R. Antonio Paton (art direction), Juan Jose Majan (stunt coordinator), Miguel Pedregosa (stunt coordinator).

Product Notes

At the turn of the century, a North African sheik kidnaps an American widow and her children in Tangiers, setting off a chain of international incidents. But while she's being held for ransom, the widow finds herself increasingly attracted to her captor. Then, Theodore Roosevelt--with thoughts of re-election on his mind--sends the Marines to rescue them, and becomes entangled in both European and Arabian political intrigues. Academy Award Nominations: Best Sound, Best Original Score.
