Dated ‘60s Lebanese b&w film about author Kahil Gibran's ill-fated love for a woman consigned to an unhappy arranged marriage, this not-well-preserved soap opera is available in two, equally unsuitable, versions: with white subtitles that are often unreadable or with bold yellow subtitles on a black background that blocks out about 25% of the picture. In both cases, the subtitles occasionally fly by too fast to read anyway. Not recommended. (R. Pitman)
