Does anyone recall whether it was this movie (Song of Scheherazade) that was "narrated" by a camel? Or am I mixing this up with another movie from the late '40s/early '50s era of that ilk? I definitely recall the lead actors, i.e., DeCarlo and Donlevy. Since I was just a kid at the time, and don't recall much else about the movie myself, except for the talking camel (if this is the correct movie!), I can only go by the fact that my parents enjoyed the picture and the high point for me was the camel making comments from an inset in the corner of the screen. My general impression on recollection is that it was fairly enjoyable and suitable for the whole family to attend even if the kids didn't really "get it". There must have been enough action, and of course the color photography was enough to keep the kids satisfied. Movies from the "olden" days are more clever, since they didn't have all that computerized gadgetry to work with yet got the neat-o special effects. It was a wonder in 1947 (to a kid, anyway) how they got that camel to TALK and put him up in the corner!
