With the help of a magic rope and a magic carpet, the hero woos a beautiful princess and faces many mortal dangers, including fierce dragons, blazing fires, and swelling waters, in his quest to prove himself worthy of her love.
Perhaps because I was first exposed to the 1940 color version of THE THIEF OF BAGDAD as a kid, and perhaps, sadly, because most of us are too young to remember, or have not seen many of the great silent epics--I prefer the 1940 Korda version.
