1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The score is by Music/JerryGoldsmith. He ''didn't'' mind losing at the Oscars for this one, considering [[Film/{{Jaws}} the winner that year]].
2* TearJerker
3** Raisuli says goodbye to Mrs. Pedicaris.
4** UsefulNotes/TheodoreRoosevelt reads [[TitleDrop Raisuli's letter]] while sitting with the grizzly bear
5** Raisuli's last line: [[spoiler: "Is there not one thing in your life that is worth losing everything for?"]]
6* ValuesDissonance:
7** No modern movie would allow even an rapscallion of a love interest be introduced by backhanding the female lead.
8** The film often portrays random Berbers as [[ManChild man children]], something that wouldn't fly with modern audiences.
9** White, Scottish Creator/SeanConnery...portraying a [[{{Brownface}} Middle Eastern]] man. Yeah...
10* ValuesResonance: That said, the movie's very pointed depiction of Western imperialism and Middle Eastern politics has held up remarkably well over the years. Even today it's hard to imagine a character like Raisuli being the heroic lead of a mainstream Hollywood movie.
