Shalimar: The Deadly Thief 1978

Shalimar: The Deadly Thief (1978)     An ailing millionaire and master jewel thief invites the best rival jewel thieves in the world to his island estate to compete for the ultimate prize of the Shalimar Ruby.  The winner will walk away as the proud owner of the world's most luminous jewel but the losers will pay with their deaths.
     This movie is terrible, maybe on the list of worst movies!  A musical number on the beach is ridiculous and laughable.  One thief's body is made into a god by the natives and another comes back from the dead?  Did Rex Harrison need to make a house payment?  2* (I didn't like this movie)


90 min, Action, directed by Krishna Shah with Rex Harrison, Zenat Aman, Dharmendra, Shashi Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, John Saxon, Sylvia Miles.

Note:  Blockbuster 2 1/2*, imdb 6.9 out of 10, no critic review 45% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
