Movie Reviews of The Thief of Bagdad
Movie Review: Sinbad at his best!
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful version of Sinbad the Sailor. Great sets, costumes, and story line. Douglass Fairbanks is great in it.Movie Review: Historical point of interest...
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember seeing this silent movie on television back around 1985. Somehow, I remember better picture quality and a different musical score based on music by Rimsky-Korsakov. While I thought it was very interesting as a historical point of interest, I didn't find myself as enjoying the movie as much as I remembered when I saw it on TV years ago.
Even so, the sets, costumes and special effects, are quite amazing. At times, the director does create a feel for the exotic. Douglas Fairbanks is also quite talented in his top form and agility. Undoubtedly, the best aspect of the movie is the lovely and all-too-brief appearences of Anna May Wong, even though her character is a shameless Asian stereotype.
If you are a person who doesn't mind experiementing with something a little bit different, you might just enjoy this movie. At any rate, you haven't much to lose considering the bargain-basement price.
