This 1940 movie is one of the great entertainments. It lifts up the heart.

Alexander Korda's opulent Arabian Nights fantasy suffers from pallid performances and frequently succumbs to kitsch, but it still casts its fragile spell.

The Thief of Bagdad is a colorful, lavish and eye-appealing spectacle.

The Thief of Bagdad is a picture that we highly recommend for all ages and all races. We go further and say it should be the duty of every adult to take the children to see this, in my opinion, the greatest of all fantasy.
