• A true adventure classic
  I remembered this as a child, loved it then and still do. The effects are marvelous for the time, and even for now. Sabu was beleivable; Conrad Veidt was villainous; and the love interest was more steamy than explicit. However, for me the best role was Rex Ingram as the djin -- in those days parts that memorable for large black actors were very rare.

• A classic that can never be topped!
  What a pleasure to immerse myself in this fantasy classic once more, in all its brilliant Technicolor splendor!

  The movie has a great plot and some of the best actors ever. Conrad Veidt as Jaffar is the Grandfather of Vadar and Aabu makes a great Abu. June Duprez, who has a cute behind, plays The Princess.

The extras, such as the commentaries, radio interviews and the still gallery really add to the, already, great value.

• thief of bagdad,dvd
  This is my favorite movie of my entire life from early childhood. I've been searching for the DVD for years. Thank Amazon.com for getting a hold of it. I bought one for my son as well. Its his favorite movie too. We had an old VHS tape but time marches on doesn't it? I was stunned at how quickly it came to my house and I didn't even go for the super fast delivery.I love Amazon.com. Keep up the great work
