Gayet ortalama bir film. Konargöçer hayatı tercih eden bir amerikali ve onu arayan sefaretten bir amerikali ve iranli bir subayı anlatıyor. Anthony Quiin güzel oynamış. Müzikler iyi, İran- Konargöçer kültürü aktarımı güzel. Kıyafetler, danslar çok güzel.  Filmin sonu…

An American embassy official (Michael Sarrazin) is sent to the Middle East to try and track down the wife (Jennifer O'Neill) of an Iranian colonel. CARAVANS was based on the James Michener novel and it ended up being one of the biggest bombs of the year. A ton of money…

Michael Sarrazin, without an iota of screen presence, explores a fictional Middle Eastern country while mostly clucking his tongue at cultural differences. Perhaps the most bizarre thing he encounters is a villainous, effeminate köçek dancer who occasionally pops up to…
