The Thief of Bagdad

“ONE THOUSAND AND ONE SIGHTS FROM THE THOUSAND OF ONE NIGHTS....”

Prince Ahmad (John Justin) is blinded and driven out of Bagdad by the grand vizier Jaffar (Conrad Veidt), who wants the throne for himself. A scrappy young thief named Abu (Sabu) joins him, and together they set out to take back his place and the heart of a princess (June Duprez). Tim Whelan and Ludwig Berger film it in saturated Technicolor, with the Djinn (Rex Ingram) looming huge in the frame.
