Need help with the title of this movie

[KrystallizedFlame]

My co-worker is the one that needs this. I looked today for her online and came up with nothing.:confused:

This movie stars Candace Bergen and it's from the late 1970's. It takes place in the desert or Arabia somewhere. Candace's character was kidnapped by Arabs. The leading man might be Omar Shariff-not 100% sure though. Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA

:)

Ashanti 1979 But Candace Bergen is not in it, the female lead is Beverly Johnson.

Maybe Ghandi?? Here is a quote from the site about the movie:

The film is extraordinary. The cinematography(Filmed mostly in India), the costumes designs, the acting, will all keep you totaly involved with this story of historical importance. Performances by Ben Kingsley, Martin Sheen,Candace Bergen, Sir John Gielgud, Trevor Howard and Edward Fox were all a stroke a brillant casting.Also look for a very young Daniel Day Lewis early on in the film. The music by Ravi Shankar and George Fenton(also given a nod by the academy) encompasses the true culture of India.

Is this it?

Sean Connery plays the Arab warlord Raisuli in The Wind and The Lion (1975). Based on a true-life incident when a businessman was kidnapped in the early 1900s, the story was changed by director John Milius changed to make it sexier for film. Substituting Candice Bergen as the captive, The Wind and the Lion taps into desires left unfulfilled by Valentino’s death. Abduction…a beautiful hostage and a masculine captor…alone in the Saharan sands…

Did a little research and it sounds like "The Wind and The Lion"

At the beginning of the 20th century an American woman is abducted in Morocco by Berbers. The attempts to free her range from diplomatic pressure to military intervention.
