One of the greatest Egyptian and Arab movies of all time. Reviewed by nmlynn00 10 / 10 A Must For Anyone Who Loves Foreign Films It was a pleasure to see this film again. He was so generous to offer the christians to leave the city and avoid slavery - that was shown correctly in the Saladin Film and very bad in the Kingdom of Heaven film.Ĭonsidering the fact that the Saladin-film was made in the 60ties, I can only come to conclusion that its an excellent film and I have great respect for the directors and actors of this film. In history Jerusalem didn't make such a heroic defense and was taken easily by Saladin. In the Kingdom of Heavon film on the other side it was shown that Saladin was forced by the excellent Christian defense to ask the city of jerusalem to surrender. In the Kingdom of Heavon it was shown correctly that Rainard was executed by Saladin (and not killed in an horoable duel). There were 35.000 christians fighting 50.000 arabs. Both films declare that they are extremely outnumbered by the other side (Saladin: 120.000 christians against 40.000 arabs / Kingdom of Heaven: 250.000 arabs against 50.000 christians). Thw whole thing gets interesting when its compared with the crusader film Kingdom of Heaven. Some days ago I saw the arab version with English subtitles. When I saw this film some decades ago it was on German TV.
