Caravans

This epic adventure-drama based on James Michener's best-selling novel concerns a young American embassy official (Michael Sarrazin) who is sent into the Middle-Eastern desert to find the missing daughter of a U.S. Senator. The young women (Jennifer O'Neill) has left her husband, a Colonel in the Shadom - she was his number two wife - and has opted for the lifestyle of a nomadic tribe. When the diplomat locates the girl he joins the caravan and attempts to persuade the girl to return. Caravans was filmed entirely on locations near the Iran-Afghanistan border and features a fine performance by Anthony Quinn as the aging chieftain of the nomadic tribe.
