Jack Hunter 10 minutes into a film main actress goes into entire speech about being innocent and not knowing about love, and says "I am 17 and not married, so and so got married at 14". I thought she was 30+. So, I go and look up who she is, when she was born, what year movie is from and at time of filming she was 25, looking 30+. Playing a 17 year old which supposedly behaves like she is 12. Just ... too bizarre for me.That kills it for me. While sometimes performance is great and I can ignore nonsense like this, in this films case there is no depth. It appears to be very cheaply done knockoff of Ali Baba, with unattractive, untalented cast.Main male character similarly is near middle aged, playing a child. Most of remainder of male cast behave like they are all homosexual, while rest of female cast are all in 20's but acting like maybe set of 13 year old schoolgirls. Really weird film. Its supposed to be some kind of comedy/adventure, but its neither, its just garbage.
jjnxn-1 Priceless junk that is pretty much explained by its title. John Derek was a good looking man and at times an adequate actor but not here although the script such as it is doesn't really lend itself to major thesping. Elaine Stewart as the princess is even worse enacting her role with all the passion of a petulant schoolgirl and showing that her eventual participation in numerous game show as a hostess was probably the best use of her talents. The only cast member to emerge with any kind of distinction is Thomas Gomez who chews the high grade ham as an good hearted but opportunistic trader. The costumes are just about what you would expect from this sort of sword and sandal flick but keep an eye out at about the hour mark for a young slave maiden wearing what truly appears to be a mop on her head!! The most baffling aspect of the whole thing is that it has a score conducted by Nelson Riddle and an (awful) theme song sung by the great Nat King Cole that is repeated over and over again throughout the flick. Enjoyable once in a mindless colorful way.
grafxman Miss Kitty from Gunsmoke as the savage leader of a band of scantily clad, horse back riding amazon warriors.One very mean princess.A trick horse.Arab barbers.Harem girls.Camels, donkeys and lots of horses.Desert sands, rugged mountains, oasis.Colorful wardrobes of many brilliant colors.All of this set to the wonderful and haunting lyrics of Nat King Cole.
bigaviboy Let me start off by saying that this movie is awful. The acting, script, and directing is some of the worst ever seen and as a result made for a very funny movie to laugh at. I didn't understand the point since i was laughing to hard at the lite motif which goes, "Hajij, Hajij.." repeatedly. It takes a lot of talent to make a movie this horrible.
