SALADIN THE VICTORIOUS (Saladin and the Great Crusades) (1963) * with switchable English and French subtitles *

Saladin, ruler of the kingdoms surrounding the Latin state of Jerusalem, is brought to attack the Christians in the Holy Land by the sacking of a convoy of Muslim pilgrims, a group which included his sister.  In a short campaign against all odds, Jerusalem is taken and almost the entire Middle East is in Muslim hands.  Crusade is called again in Europe, and the combined forces of the French king, German emperor, and English king form the 3rd Crusade, under the leadership of Richard the Lionheart of England.  Although Acre is taken by the Crusaders, Saladin succeeds in preventing the recapture of Jerusalem, and in the end negotiations between himself and Richard (who Saladin admires as the only honorable leader) leave the Holy Land in Moslem hands.

DVD-r is in Arabic with switchable English and French subtitles. Approx. 194 mins. See film sample for audio and video quality!
