The Thief of Bagdad

Producer Alexander Korda made this masterpiece of cinema that remains a timeless classic. A young prince is cheated out of his throne and love by his evil Vizier but finds an ally in a young thief who helps him to regain everything after a thrilling adventure worthy of 1001 Nights. A dazzling combination of great story and visual effects make this film one of the great film. It's a remarkable achievement for the time it was made that puts many contemporary films to shame. Besides the fantastic crew that includes director Michael Powell and composer Miklós Rózsa the film features Sabu and Conrad Veidt who deliver the best performances in the film and their careers.
