directed by John Rawlings. USA, 1942, 86 min., Italian version.

This film is a milestone in the cinema's traditional approach to the "remote and mysterious Orient", about which the West fantasised for decade before recent events revealed that it is in fact dramatically close to home.  Hollywood set out from its earliest days to fuel the lure of the exotic, reinventing a fantasy world for the screen with images of extraordinary visual richness.  Everything is gorgeously extravagent in this major film from the 'forties, which takes its inspiration from the celebrated tales of Scheherazade to tell the story of a dancing girl who aspires to marry a king.
