The Prophet

by Anthony Quinn

The Lion of the Dessert

In Quinn’s autobiography, “One Man Tango”, he explained that when he was dressed in full costume to play Auda Abu Tayi and drove to the desert set, he was spotted by the locals.  In his own words he described the moment, “Up ahead, beneath the overhang of a cliff, sat four of five hundred Arabs, escaping the midday sun. They spotted me on the horizon and began to chant: Abu Tayi, Abu Tayi. Their voices lifted me, and carried me right to the set. For them, I had become Abu Tayi."

Over his career, Quinn would star in 3 movies that told the story of the Arab people and their fight for freedom. To this very day, his role in the movie “The Message” is renowned throughout the Arab world. And, the whole world remembers his parts in “Lawrence of Arabia” and of course, “Lion in the Desert”.
