Please don't confound this film with A THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS made by Alfred Green for Columbia Pictures in 1945, a try from this studio to copy Universal productions, as will follow a bit later THE MAGIC CARPET, also from Columbia. The Alfred Green 's movie is not bad but this one starring Maria Montez, Jon Hall and Sabu is above anything else of this kind, as will also be ALI BABA AND THE FORTY THIEVES. The magical, flaming, colourful Universal productions of the forties, during and just after the war, to help wounded audiences to forget horrors of fights. Stories in those films are not important, all the sames actually: good vs evil characters only the music, settings, atmosphere are awesome.
