Universal Studios provided many of this kind of features in the forties and fifties. After the magic duo Maria Montez - Jon Hall in the forties, who brought us in Arabia, ungles, paradise islands in the South Seas, the studio found Maureen O'Hara, Yvonne de Carlo, Piper Laurie, Tony Curtis, Jeff Chandler, Rock Hudson, to replace the mythical duo of the previous decade. The early Tony Curtis career will be prolific with such movies; you can find him in THE SON OF ALI BABA, Rock Hudson in THE GOLDEN BLADE, Jeff Chandler in FLAME OF ARABIA. So this One Thousand and One Nights like tale is enchanted for old timers audiences in search of their childhood memory, colorful, full of romance and dance, action, beautiful indoor settings, palaces with pools.... No matter the naive and predictable topic. Just dream for a eighty five minutes.
