Movie Reviews of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves (Universal Backlot Series)
Movie Review: If you're a fan of old-school technicolor fun-fests, you'll love it.
Summary: 5 Stars
The plot is thin, and the acting could use a lot of work, but this was basically a Saturday afternoon popcorn-muncher back when it was released. If you're looking for classic cinema from it's day, look elsewhere.
On the other hand, if, like me, you watched this as a kid on a Family Classics type of Sunday afternoon movie program, you'll find everything you loved here in all it's technicolor glory!
Maria Montez is gorgeous, Jon Hall is heroic, the bad guys are bad and the good guys are great! And it's all done in some glorious, beautiful color, which has survived the trip to digital extremely well.

Lushly shot in glorious Technicolor® and featuring a cast of thousands, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves is a cinematic feast for the senses to be enjoyed time and again.Similar DVD Movies
