    In the post-war years, Arabian fantasies were incredibly popular: an opportunity to feature scantily clad beauties in lavish color, with romantic stories and exotic backgrounds. Every studio made a few of these romps, using their most beautiful actors to great advantage and adapting epic plot lines without much gravity. Here, cast as a villainess, Lucille Ball is Narah, the daughter of Ali (Gregory Gay), pretender to the throne and royal assassin. The true heir, played by John Agar (She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Fort Apache), smuggled away on a magic carpet when just a baby, grows up under an assumed name until he is old enough to claim his place alongside his beautiful love, Lida (Patricia Medina). Classic film villains Raymond Burr and George Tobias join in the spectacle-and producer Sam Katzman didn’t forget the dancing girls! Newly remastered.

    I actually own this and almost every other vintage Arabian nights and sword and sandal. Silly as all get but that was the design. Total escapist adventure, corny dialoge, process shots, great set design and decor, dancing harem girls who look like they were freshly choreographed by bugsy Berkeley all in it's technicolor glory Saturday matinee at it's crowning best. If you like this try One thousand and one Arabian nights (1945) with cornell wilde. 😂

      There is an Arabian fantasy film I cannot remember the title ? it starred Phil Silvers what interesting about this movie Rex Ingram revised his role as the Genie ( the one he played in The Thief of Baghdad 1940 - the Alexander Korda film )

      Yes that's "one thousand and one Arabian nights" (1945) with Cornell wilde from Columbia pictures.

      Agree. I’m a fan of “ quality” cinema and some movies show that in different ways. This fulfills its objective. It was never meant to be the next Casablanca or gone with the wind. It’s escapist entertainment.
      But…I really can’t get my head around Lucile balls popularity. She’s not funny! But that’s just me 😊

    Only in Hollywood in the late '40s \ early '50s... The hero is "The Scarlett Falcon," wearing his signature all scarlet robes, scampers around in broad daylight, without being detected. The same era that spawned a character who needed only a pair of glasses and mild manners to hide the fact that he was Superman. Ah, the era of dreams and fantasy...😊

    The Magic Carpet 1951. When his parents, the caliph and queen, are murdered by usurper Ali (Gregory Gaye), the newborn Ramoth is delivered to the safety of his uncle, Ahkmid (William Fawcett), via a magic carpet. The adult Ramoth (John Agar) becomes masked hero the Scarlet Falcon. After tricking the reigning caliph into appointing him the royal physician, Ramoth learns of his noble birth and, with the help of faithful Razi (George Tobias) and beautiful Lida (Patricia Medina), he fights Ali and his wrathful minions.

    Raymond Burr, would know that deep bass voice anywhere, Lucille Ball does a great job and could that possibly be Little Ricky with henna rinse on his head swaddled in pharoa's purple striped swaddling cloth? Probably not, but it's a fun thought. Fun Saturday matinee; enjoy the costumes. 🎉

    So glad Lucy did
    more worthwhile
    projects, before
    and since.😊.
    Her physical comedy
    and very expressive
    face gave us a huge
    amount of entertainment.
    Saw a documentary
    about her life, and near
    the end, she seemed
    bitter : sad it didn't
    turn out as well as
    hoped...😢💙 : Lucy
    called Desi " a loser " .😢
    On a lighter note (🎵)
    one of her funniest comedy
    episodes , imho, was " Lucy
    Meets The Burtons ".
    Enjoy !😊⭐.

    Thrifty B-movie producer Sam Katzman recycled a lot of stock footage in this movie from the classic movie "A THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS" (Columbia, 1945) for this 1951 romp with B-movie director Lew Landers, and a lot of fun with star Lucille Ball.

    Lucille Ball had often complained to Columbia Pictures head Harry Cohn about the quality of the pictures she had been doing while under contract to the studio. At the time this picture was made, Ball was only obligated to Columbia for one more film, and Cohn had producer Sam Katzman, who turned out most of Columbia's low-budget "B" pictures, concoct this cheap Arabian Nights fantasy as a punishment to Ball for her constantly challenging him to give her better roles.
