Thanks for posting this - back before the days of VHS, my family would check out old 16mm movie reels from the library on Friday nights. We watched this hard-to-find little gem several times during those years - good to see it available again. Phil Silvers with all those anachronisms are still funny. Nice transfer...
Our family did the same, coming home with those canvas bags full of 16mm reels from the library on Friday nights. That's how I first saw this gem as well as "Blue Hawaii" and "Fun in Acapulco" with Elvis, "The Court Jester" with Danny Kaye, "Jumping Jacks" with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, and so many others. Good memories.
thank you for posting. i havent seen this movie yet but it seemed interesting. im very glad someone uploaded it. for others to watch... thank you again..
Cornel Wilde was going to be on the US Olympic fencing team but became an actor. He's obviously so much better than everyone else at fencing, it's quite funny watching him hold back.
@emilaminjedla This movie is based on Aladdin and the Genie. It's a short story in the "Arabian Nights" book (which I'm having a hard time finding in the library much to my chagrin). How is it propoganda? As far as I'm concerned, the whole "portraying muslims/arabs in a negative way" never came across. All I saw was a good movie with some funny lines and great costumes.
I wish they still made films like this, with classically beautiful and healhy-looking blonde pink-skinned princesses (screw the 'whitewashing' acccusations) being courted by plucky and lowly peasant boys.
It took me a long time to find this. Phil Silvers is a genius comedic actor. :)
He is 🥰
