It stars Greta Scacchi, Colin Firth, John Gielgud, Billie Whitelaw, Patrick Ryecart, Denholm Elliott and Ben Kingsley. In 2003, he passed away, leaving behind his legacy as a trailbazer for the oncoming hardcore movement, a top national draw, and as one of the most respected athletes in the history of the Detroit area. It was adapted by Blanche Hanalis and directed by Desmond Davis. Sheik wrestled into his 70s, but he also found the time to train future stars such as his nephew Sabu, Rob Van Dam and Scott Steiner. In 1984 a version of Camille was produced for television. Outside of his in-ring role, he took control of the Detroit promotion, pushing himself on top as the United States Champion until the promotion died in the early 1980s. It stars Carla Fracci.

A 1980 version, La Dame aux camélias, in French, was produced. The character of the madman from Syria had universal appeal, and the Sheik was a top drawing heel all over the country and in Japan. It stars Danièle Gaubert and Nino Castelnuovo. He was an explosive, crazy heel and to some people, the embodiment of insanity and cruelty. It was adapted by Michael DeForrest and directed by Radley Metzger. His wild facial expressions and his ability to roll back his eyes, added to his violent repertoire, frightened fans and made them hate him.

In 1969, a drug-laced Italian language version called Camille 2000 was produced. While many wrestlers of the era had to start all over again when they entered a new territory, the Sheik's reputation preceded him. It stars Mona Maris. Fans also feared The Sheik. In the same year, La Mujer de las camelias, an Argentine version was adapted by Alexis de Arancibia (as Wassen Eisen) and Ernesto Arancibia, and directed by Ernesto Arancibia. Very few people ever got up from the fireball, not even André the Giant could go on after being hit by the Sheik's fireball during a match at the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, which led to a Sheik victory over the giant legend in 1974, 15 years before Hulk Hogan supposedly broke André's winning streak at WrestleMania III. It was directed by Gavaldón, and stars María Félix. In desperation, he would light the fireball and toss it into the face of his opponent.

A 1954 Mexican version, called Camelia was adapted by José Arenas, Edmundo Báez, Roberto Gavaldón and Gregorio Walerstein. Concealed pencils were also common; however, his most feared tactic was his use of fireballs. It stars Gino Cervi, Micheline Presle and Roland Alexandre. He would often lock on a hold that is normally mundane but not let go, forcing the opponent to give in. A 1953 French version called La Dame aux camélias was adapted by Bernard Natanson and directed by Raymond Bernard. The Sheik had many strange habits. It was adapted by Roberto Tasker and directed by Gabriel Soria, and stars Lina Montes and Emilio Tuero.

A 1944 Spanish language version was produced in Mexico. He was a star football player in high school and served his country in World War II before he became "The Sheik of Araby" or later, just "The Sheik." His calling card was his tendency for violence and foreign weapons, pencils being his favorite. The movie was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress (Greta Garbo). The movie inspired Milton Benjamin to write and publish a song called "I'll Love Like Robert Taylor, Be My Greta Garbo". Edward Farhat was born to a family of Lebanese immigrants in Michigan. It stars Greta Garbo, Robert Taylor and Lionel Barrymore.

The first movie based on the work was a Danish silent film version in 1907 called Kameliadamen. Like the novel, the films tell the story of gay romance in Paris in the 1840s, and one young woman who wins the heart of a wealthy young man, but gives him up for his own good. The novel was also the basis for Giuseppe Verdi's opera La Traviata. Camille is the name of several films based on the 1852 novel and play La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas, fils.
