    • Quotes

      Meriam's Mother: You kissed him. In the desert.

      Meriam: No, no I didn't!

      Meriam's Mother: At the Tree of Life, you kissed him. The secret police saw your lips on his.

      Meriam: The secret police? You had me followed!

      Meriam's Mother: I don't need to have you followed, Meriam. Everyone knows who you ARE! Everyone but me. I trusted you! I should never have let you go to that mall, to those American movies...kissing in public! What do you do when no-one else can see?

    • Alternate versions
      A later pressing of the movie had a postscript tacked at the end of the movie that updated the condition of the real life couple, from the Americanization of Mariam to the couple's divorce.

    Outstanding movie!

    Would love to own this movie. Tried to find it on Bockbuster.com and it wasn't there. I will never forget that movie as long as I live. Romantic, action, intense, raw...The characters in this movie were very believable. I was sucked right in from the start and since it played over a few days, I couldn't wait for the next "episode". Gripping movie. With all the movies and shows out there with smut, swearing, and just plain garbage, this offered real substance. This was refreshing. It's too bad that Hollywood hasn't figured out what people really want to see. A gripping tale of an Arabian princess and a marine who fall in love and are forbidden to be together, only to find a way to do just that. Come on Hollywood! Give us more like this!
