Short description

Angélique is in a North African Muslim kingdom where she is now part of the Sultan's harem. She refuses to be bedded as her captors try to beat sense into her. She finally decides to escape with the help of two Christian prisoners.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The actress who played the role of the Sultan's main wife, Leila, Vilma Lindamar, and the actor who played the Sultan, Ali Ben Ayed, were actually married in real life.
  • The film crew was received by the first President of Tunisia, Habib Bourguiba himself.
  • Many scenes of the film were shot in Tunisia, for example, in the city of Sidi Bou Said, particularly in the palace of Baron Rudolf d'Erlange, around the Ribat in the city of Monastir, in the amphitheater of El Jem, in the Gulf of La Marsa, and so on.
  • The film is an adaptation of two books from the series of novels about Angélique by Anne and Serge Golon: “Indomitable Angélique” (final chapters) and the chapter of the same name, “Angélique and the Sultan,” from the book “Rebellious Angélique” (also: “The Defiant Angélique”/“Angélique in Revolt”/“The Rebel of Poitou”).
