I grew up with this as my all-time favorite film. The special effects are incredible for the era, and won awards. I can remember the dialogue as if I'd heard it yesterday. It is simply a great, timeless adventure. The music is by Miklos Rosza, who is cinema history's best. Sabu is the Thief. Conrad Veidt is the grand villain. I have a copy within reach, for the next trip down memory lane. Whoa there! Rex Ingram wants out of his genii bottle!

Bronson's character gets off a train and you follow his laid back demeanor as it moves forward. None of the film's other characters expect much, but the fun in watching is that the lot of them are going to be surprised. That kind of thing in a fight movie works well. Good performances.
