    Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
    Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
    freetom77 I was taken by storm watching this adventure, couldn't wait for the next episode, dreamt of her, was so in love. So long ago since I was 10 or 11 years old but still remembering how she made me feel. I never saw it again and I'm struggeling if i ever should or not. I thought Andie was the most beautiful actress ever and they did a great job with Das Geheimnis der Sahara. I feel a little cheated on cause now I know that I didn't hear her original voice haha
    liderc Wow. I saw this when it was aired for the first time on an Austrian or German TV-Channel. I was still a child then, and I couldn't get it out of my head. This is a very well done mini-serial with a very good plot, and it would deserve a DVD release. If you can get the soundtrack album released on CD by RCA, get it! The music is so wonderful and brought back so many memories...
    bobola I have seen the Secret of the Sahara a number of times since it's release, and I can't say that it's lost its attraction. If you enjoy the whimsy of a fairy tale, set in an extra-ordinary location such as the Sahara, good against evil, a little romance thrown in, a little jealousy, handsome leads, then the Secret of the Sahara is just the ticket!
    radiador Enjoyable adventure in the Sahara's desert with a powerful international cast but the movie is very long and it is one of the disadvantages of the film, also, the star, Michael York ( "Austin Powers" ) doesn't convince in his role and this is strange because he is a good actor.On the other hand, the special effects are very poor. All of this is supplied for a fabulous cast. Good performances of Soul, Bosé, McNamara and, of course, Ben Kingsley. Special mention for two women: Andie MacDowell, great as Anthea, a year before of "Green card", and the beautiful spanish actress, Ana Obregón ("Bolero", "La vida alegre", "La mirada del otro"... ), in a small role as Tamamet.Finally, this is a good movie of adventures and original cast in a graceful place, the desert of Sahara.
