Intimate Power | Year: 1989 Classification: Drama Directed: - Jack Smight turgid yet enjoyable melodrama Based on the novel "Sultant" by Prince Michael of Greece, INTIMATE POWER (aka THE FAVORITE) is a tepid, turgid period piece that is saved by the performance of Amber O'Shea. INTIMATE POWER is the startling "true story" of Aimee Dubuoa (Amber O'Shea), who is kidnapped by pirates and sold into the harem of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Tragically falling in love with the Sultan's nephew, the sensual young Aimee instead becomes the Sultan's favorite, posing as a threat to the older women of the harem. This epic of sexual and political power follows the remarkable life of a woman as she fights for and gains ultimate control of one of the world's last male-dominated empires. With F. Murray Abraham, Maud Adams, James Michael Gregary, Andrea Parisy and Ron Dortch. I want to see this movie again In 1990, Venezuelan billboards announced 'La Favorita' - a darkhaired, blue-eyed beauty in a harem. 4 of us Americans went to themovie (English with Spanish subtitles in Caracas). Something musthave gotten lost in the translation. The Venezolanos remainedserious, quiet, respectful throughout the film. We Americans couldnot keep from laughing at bad acting. Leaving the cinema, I had toapologize to the other three for suggesting the film. Ever since, Ihave wanted to re-watch this worst movie I have ever seen to determineif my first impression was right. I seriously want to see it again..... END A true story with more imagination than Hollywood has Based on a true story, this intrigueing story has no biased axe to grind. A French girl taken captive by pirates and sold to the Sultan of the Ottoman empire eventually becomes his willing favorate. Her own infant son is murdered by another of the Sultan's wives who wants her own son to take the throne. The French girl outwits her rivals and ultimately plays a great part in the destiny of Turkey. Don't confuse this movie with the other movie of the same title. It is unfortunate that more people can't see this one. It's not sex trach. Buy Intimate Power at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
