Plot: Il figlio dello sceicco 1978 While the title of this film, SON OF THE SHEIK, is accurate, dont be thinking this has anything to do with the Rudolph Valentino classic What we have here is a lowbrow, crude Italian late 70s comedy starring the great Tomas Milian who has shown a gift for comedy in his PROVIDENCE films and elsewhereas a loser in his 30s who lives with his domineering mother and dreams of opening his own gas station, but cant get a permit because he doesnt know the right people in the Italian bureaucracy Then out of the blue, a beautiful American blonde woman comes along claiming to represent a large oil company and tells him that she will help him become manager of his own gas station It turns out that Milian whose birth was the result of a brief tryst between an middle Eastern emir and an Italian hotel maid his mom is the son of the sheik and this man wants his son to come back home This plan is being thwarted by the lackeys working for an oil company, the main one played in an over the top fashion by Bo Svenson Svenson also plays the slapstick very well, although the dubbed voice given him doesnt really fit a man of Svensons size and authority He wears ridiculous costumes throughout, chomps on a cigar, and seems to be having a lot of fun Milian is dubbed the same actor who dubbed a lot of his 70s crime films, so the voice will seem familiar Theres a lot of crude bathroom humor and dated 70s jokes, but theres also a lot of physical comedy that manages to remain funny, which is a testament to Milians and Svensons talents The scene where Milian first meets his father, who wants to check a birthmark on Milians rear end, is a classic and surely the funniest scene in the film The rest of the film is OK, but would seem better suited to Bud Spencer Milian had just completed two superb crime films with director Bruno Corbucci directly prior to this SWINDLE with David Hemmings, and HIT SQUAD with Robert Webber so THE SON OF THE SHEIK must have seemed like a change of pace at the time, but the dated Arab stereotypes and cartoon level humor have not held up very well However, if you want to see Milian do a Jim Varney esque comedy scene where he attempts to ride a camel, here is your chance And I cant remember another entry in Bo Svensons filmography where he plays Bowery Boys level slapstick So check out the film if those elements sound promising for the rest of us, I cant really recommend you put much effort into finding this film Except for the appeal of the two stars, it doesnt really have much to offer Also, the full screen video transfer is maddening, as the film was clearly composed widescreen and there are a number of scenes between two people where neither of them is seen but a dialogue goes on
