Queen Aminah

Queen Aminah is the villain in the 1964 Yugoslav adventure film, The Long Ships. Rolfe is a shipwrecked Norseman stranded in the Middle East and trying to get back home to his people in Scandinavia. Rolfe tells a group of people in the marketplace about a giant bell known as the Mother of Voices. Rolfe believes he once heard the loud chime of the before his ship crashed into the rocks.

One of the people listening to his story is a spy for the Moorish King Aly Mansuh (Sidney Poitier). Aly Mansuh is obsessed with building a ship to search and the Mother of Voices, which legend has it is a giant bell made from solid gold.

Aly Mansuh has a harem full of wives and concubines and his first wife is Queen Aminah (Rosanna Schiaffino) who is feeling a bit unloved by her constantly distracted husband and his room full of women and constant obsession with the mother of voices. Aminah is constantly vying for her husband’s attention. She wears some of the most amazing outfits in the history in a constant attempt to seduce him for a quicky. Mansuh is too distracted to take her bait and she is left to simmer in her own juices.

Mansuh has the Norseman Rolfe arrested and brought before him and demands that the Viking tell him where he heard the chime of the Mother of Voices.

Looking around the King’s map room Rolfe where he is being questioned, he sees that Mansuh’s chamber has no bars on the window and that the ocean is just outside. Rolfe distracts Mansuh as he moves toward the window and makes his escape by diving into the ocean.
