HOT FOR EUNUCH

I have always had a thing for secondary characters.
In the 1944 Ali Baba, there was the princess's retainer, Jamiel. A dashing beardless youth who does not hesitate to protect the life of his liege lady.
I liked Jamiel. It was such good luck that I only loved him as a friend... for he had undergone a certain kind of surgery.

Castration equals beardlessness. And maybe suavity as well.

Indeed, he is an idealized eunuch. Suave, soft, beardless, feminine, yet cool as ice and tough as nails. And with the perfect waistline (castrated mammals, whether Varys or my tomcat Ginger, tend to put on weight).

The actor playing Jamiel is actually an Austrian, born of a (male) Turkish diplomat and a (female) Czech socialite. He must be either elderly or deceased in our days.

And he is not emasculated...
