Howie L 09/04/2024 Fun. Silly. Great looking color film. See more jordan m 01/28/2022 Phil Silvers added just enough to the Aladdin story to make this one worth watching. It's actually pretty funny to see this, the third Aladdin movie of the 1940s, going out of its way to be shot in vibrant color with great costumes when that's exactly what the others had done. These would stand out from some of their black & white peers but they're nearly indistinguishable from each other from a technical standpoint because they all went for the same flavor of lavish. The best part of the movie was the tailor; all of his dialogue was excellent. See more 06/02/2019 A Thousand and One Nights is a adventure fantasy film based on the Arabian classic and starring Evelyn Keyes, Phil Silvers, Adele Jergens and Cornel Wilde. It is a movie full of charm. It is not trying to be a very dark and serious adaption of the classic Aladdin tale. All it wants to be is a quirky comedy fantasy adventure. A good comparison would be I dream of Genie meets The Adventures of Robin Hood. It is the kind of movie you watch with a cheeseburger and a malt because it oozes 1945 charm. The effects aren't realistic but they are very fun to watch and make for some humorous scenes. And there is some good action (including a swashbuckling sword dual at the climax of the film). The best characters are the lovely Babs the Genie (played by Evelyn Keyes) as a lovely if not slightly mischievous genie and Phil Silvers as Abdullah (a jive talking man born a thousand years before his time). The only problem is that some of the songs are a mixed bag. See more 05/08/2014 a spoof of the hall/montez epics See more 01/27/2014 Hilarious Version of an Arabian Nights Fantasy--Pure escapism!!
