ALI BABA and the 40 THIEVES This video is one of the only Samia Gamal color films available in the US, and it features three dance sequences. Gamal was hand-picked by the producers to star with Fernandel, one of France's most popular actors from the 1940s through the 1960s. Ali Baba (Fernandel), a servant, accidentally discovers the magic cave where Abdul and his band of 40 thieves hide their stolen treasure. He takes enough money to buy a slave girl (Samia Gamal) from his master, Cassim, to be his wife. But Cassim and Abdul have plans for Ali on his wedding night… Shot entirely on location in Morocco using a cast of thousands, this charming film was one of Fernandel's most popular. It was one of the biggest productions of the era, rivaling "Cleopatra" in its scale and scope. Great pains were taken to accurately recreate the epoch of "A Thousand and One Nights" and Moroccan customs are reflected in rich detail, down to the costumes and ceremonies. French dialogue with English subtitles. VHS. NTSC only. $27.95 FREE USA shipping
