Movie Reviews of The Thief of Bagdad (Deluxe Edition)
Movie Review: Great classic movie, ok DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
Like many classic movies, unless it is Wizard of OZ or Gone with the Wind the DVD edition is very simple. The DVD works fine and the movie is certainly better than VHS but the DVD box and the final quality of the packaging is more Dollar store than Best Buy.
Summary of The Thief of Bagdad (Deluxe Edition)
This is an awe-inspiring jaunt through exotic arabia as a young sneak thief must face supernatural challenges to win the heart of his beloved princess. Studio: Kino International Release Date: 02/03/2004 Starring: Doulas Fairbanks Run time: 155 minutes Director: Raoul WalshDouglas Fairbanks spared no expense for what may be the most lavish fantasy movie ever made. Inspired by the flying-carpet effects of Fritz Lang's somber but spectacular Der M?de Tod, Fairbanks (ever the canny businessman) bought the American rights, then hid the film away as he created his own show-stopping adventure, an adaptation of A Thousand and One Nights in which the magic-carpet ride was but one of many fantastic marvels. Swaggering through massive marketplace sets and cavernous throne rooms as an incorrigible thief and pickpocket, he scales towering walls (with the help of a magic rope) and leads a merry chase through crowded bazaars in his pursuit of loot--until he falls in love with the beautiful princess and vows to win her heart. This jaunty opening is but mere preamble to the spectacular second act. As three kings scour the globe to retrieve the rarest treasures known to man, the repentant thief embarks on an odyssey through caverns of fire and underwater caves. The marvelous special effects--from the smoke-belching dragon and underwater spider to the flying horse and magic armies arising from the dust--may show their seams but glow with a timeless sense of wonder. William Cameron Menzies's magnificent sets appear to have leapt from the pages of a storybook. As the adventure concludes in a torrent of movie magic that cascades nonstop through the breathless final hour, Fairbanks commands the screen with a hearty laugh and graceful athleticism, the cinema's first action hero triumphant. Kino's restored edition is tinted and features an organ score by Gaylord Carter. --Sean Axmaker
