Caravans is a 1978 adventure drama film directed by James Fargo and starring Anthony Quinn, Jennifer O'Neill, Michael Sarrazin, Christopher Lee and Behrouz Vossoughi. It is based on the 1963 novel by James A. Michener.

Production

In the 1967 MGM Lionpower featurette, it was advertised as one of many coming attractions in development at the time. MGM later dropped out of the film's distribution. Universal later distributed the film.

This was the final theatrical film role of Barry Sullivan.

The film was not well received by James Michener, as it strayed wildly from the plot of his book, even eliminating its main character, a Nazi war criminal on the run who falls in love with the female lead. The original novel is set in Afghanistan, while the film is set in the fictional "Zadestan".
