Yankee Pasha (1954)

Set in 1800, a trapper (Jeff Chandler) returns from the wild to Salem, Massachusetts to sell his beaver pelts. It is there he falls in love with a spirited redhead (Rhonda Fleming) even though she is engaged to another man (Tudor Owen). Based on the best selling historical novel by Edison Marshall and directed by Joseph Pevney (MAN OF A THOUSAND FACES). What begins as a period romance set in Massachusetts soon turns into an exotic adventure with Barbary pirates and white slavery set in Morocco. It's all colorful nonsense but entertainingly so. It's best to let your brain rest and just go along with it. There are horse races, shooting matches, harem girls (played by beauty pageant winners), Rhonda Fleming in skimpy costumes and a rousing storming of the palace finale. With Lee J. Cobb, Mamie Van Doren, Rex Reason, Hal March, Arthur Space and Rosalind Hayes.
