Featured review
Thief of Damascus
634 A. D.:Though General Amdar is able to win the Siege of Damascus for his ruler Khalid, he is made an enemy of the State. Amdar escapes and steals a scimitar made of Damascus steel. He leads an alliance of Sinbad without his ship, Aladdin without his lamp, Sheherazade, and Ali Baba and his 40 thieves to depose Khalid and win the heart of Princess Zafir.
He might not look like Jon Hall, but Paul Henreid is good as the hero, energetically waving off the bad guys with his scimitar and wooing the princess who thinks he's "faking" his clash with the villain of the piece - Khalid. You know the score, it's typical Arabian adventure, and has all the Arabian Nights characters like Sinbad and Aladdin. A bit hokey, fast-paced and action-packed. Enough to keep you watching, especially if you're fan of these kind of films. I particularly liked Jeff Donnell as Sheherazade - loved her quips.
