Saadia is the name of a headstrong Moroccan beauty, cursed by a witch so that anyone drawn to her meets disaster. And Saadia is the title of an exotic Technicolor(r) adventure that brings princes and bandits, priests and sorcerers, Western medicine and black magic into explosive conflict in a nation caught between centuries of tradition and the Westernization that swept much of the globe after World War II. Directed by Albert Lewin (The Picture of Dorian Gray, Pandora and the Flying Dutchman) and shot in exotic North African locales, the story follows an Arab prince (Cornel Wilde) and a French doctor (Mel Ferrer), both in love with Saadia (Rita Gam) and both endangered by their love. Will Saadia bring doom to the men or can she break free of the witch's thrall?
