Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
ActionAdventureComedyFamilyFantasyRomance92 min
Ali Baba is a cheeky servant sent to buy a slave for his master, but one errand turns into a tangle of romance, trickery, and hidden gold. Fernandel gives the title rogue a broad comic streak, while Samia Gamal brings a dancer into the middle of the trouble as Ali Baba discovers the secret of the Sesame cave and crosses paths with forty notorious thieves. Drawn from the familiar tale, the film threads together harem intrigue, stolen treasure, and a running battle between a schemer with good luck and the outlaws around him.
