Wolff Movie Index

Jewel of the Nile, The(1986(?))

Wolff rating: NOT BAD

Plot summary: The ``Jewel of the Nile'' has been stolen by a tyranical bad guy, and Joan Wilder and Jack Colton are back to save the day.

Biased, pithy comments: Unfortunately too slow, this is still an amusing fantasy/romance that takes its best moments with Turner showing her natural grace and beauty even without a reasonable script and a believeable bad guy. Lots of scenery and ``Joe'', the local hero, has a lot of fun and is the best part of the movie. Still, it's not ``Romancing the Stone'' and it shows.

Other Notes: Juggling done by the Flying Karamazov Brothers.

How many times I have seen it: ~3

Starring: Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas
Directed by: Lewis Teague
