 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Barbarian is a 1933 film directed by Sam Wood.Diana Standing (Myrna Loy) is a tourist who comes to Egypt to marry her stuffed shirt fiancée, Gerald Hume. As she gets off the train, she is spied by a rascally Egyptian man, Jamil (Ramon Navarro). Jamil has a little racket in which he romances wealthy white ladies and winds up exchanging rings with them—naturally, the rings that he gives his lovers are costume jewelry. Jamil is enchanted by Diana's beauty, and worms his way into her circle as her tour guide ("dragoman").Jamil puts the romantic full-court press on Diana, who is at the same time offended by his brashness and undeniably attracted to him. Eventually she fires him for sneaking his way into her boudoir and kissing her. Jamil doesn't give up, however, and infiltrates a caravan that Diana takes into the desert. There events take a darker turn.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Based on a stage play called The Arab although the film is actually quite similar to book and film The Sheik. C. Aubrey Smith plays Diana's uncle Cecil.

 Ambiguous Syntax: Jamil says "If mademoiselle wishes, I could give her a bath." Diana is outraged until Jamil clarifies that he means Diana's little dog, although in reality the double meaning is obvious.

 Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me: What is happening in the infamous Bathtub Scene where a (seemingly) nude Myrna Loy is getting a wash, although she does not know it. She is happy when the ladies of the desert palace give her a fancy bath, but she's actually being made ready for Achmed Pasha.

 Attempted Rape: It's offscreen, but Diana's panicked cries for help make clear what is happening with her and Achmed Pasha. Jamil has an attack of conscience, barges in there, and pulls Diana out. (Only to rape her himself that night.)
