- Metadata:
The Thief of Bagdad, adapted from One Thousand
and One Nights, is one of the most lavish fantasy
movies ever made. It tells the story of a thief
named Ahmed (Douglas Fairbanks) who falls in
love with the daughter of the Caliph of Bagdad
and vows to win her heart. William Cameron
Menzies’s spectacular production design and
special effects provide massive Arabian sets,
flying carpet rides, magic ropes, a winged
steed and fire-breathing dragons. The film is a
marvel, even by today’s standards. This new DCP
restoration features a magnificent score from Carl
Davis (Napoleon) conducting the Philharmonia
Orchestra. (2K DCP presentation)
