Cabaret Cinema: The Thief of Bagdad

With its luscious sets and visual wonders, The Thief of Bagdad has charmed viewers of all ages for decades. Inspired by The Arabian Nights, this spectacular fantasy film is brimming with imagination and technical wizardry. When Prince Ahmad (John Justin) is blinded and cast out of Bagdad by the nefarious Jaffar (Conrad Veidt), he joins forces with the scrappy thief Abu (the incomparable Sabu in his definitive role) to win back his royal palace and the heart of a beautiful princess (June Duprez).
