Featured review
The thousand And two night?
This is a movie which borrows much of its plot from other movies or legends : the golden arrow is the equivalent of the sword in the stone ; the usurper subject is taken from the 1940 masterpiece "the thief of Baghdad " and countless other films whilst the princess' s desease and the characters who turn to stone are stolen from another "thief of Baghdad ",that starring Steve Reeves the precedent year ; the stars in the sky and the three magicians make one think of the magis ;or of the three good fairies in Walt Disney's "sleeping beauty" (1959) ; without their help,like prince Philip , the hero would be defeated all along the movie.
That said , the movie is eventful , full of special effects -which can seem quaint for today's audience ,that is the children under 12. Tab Hunter has plenty of go ,and he shows a good sense of humor (" the law says : "eternal slavery" !- Have it change !") and the trick of the feather and the final chase on the shrinking flying carpet are moderately funny .But as a blond ,he looks too Nordic for a story more or less inspired by "The Thousand And One Nights "; the make-up man should have had his hair dyed .
Beautiful colors , the landscapes remind you ,towards the end ,of the valley of the Nile and its feluccas ; it was aimed at the children 's market,if they are not too demanding ,they can enjoy it.
