A beautiful fantasy adventure

This ancient fantasy of two brothers who are caliphs-in-waiting is a dazzling, colorful film presented in lush Technicolor. Nature's beauty of deep blue skies, thick white clouds and golden desert sand dunes are well-served in this yarn of palace intrigue and murder as Kamar usurps the throne that rightfully belongs to his brother Haroun. The beautiful and exotic Sherazade aspires to marry a caliph and is instrumental along with Ali Ben Ali in rescuing Haroun from his brother's henchmen and nursing him back to health. Chase scenes, sword fights and comedy are sprinkled throughout the story but it is the vibrant color interiors and exteriors that arrest all attention in this film. Jon Hall is a virile and likable hero, Maria Montez a lovely girl who vows no man will ever win her heart, Leif Erickson a narrow-eyed plotter and Edgar Barrier's Hadan is a dark shadow who hovers about the story as an evil opportunist.
