Colorful (in the most literal sense, that is, filled, stuffed, gorged with color) Arabian Nights tale, a United Kingdom/United States joint venture, produced by Alexander Korda, designed by his brother Vincent, associate-produced by William Cameron Menzies, who designed the Douglas Fairbanks silent version of the tale, and directed by three different people: Michael Powell, Tim Whelan, Ludwig Berger. All in all, richer in production values than in real imagination. Conrad Veidt is everything you might want in an evil vizier and more; but Sabu, as the mischievous thief, doesn't quite seem deserving of having all these marvels happen to him. (1940) — Duncan Shepherd
