Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

howardeisman Sure, many of the performers read their lines as if they had just learned them five minutes before. The plot had already been used to death by 1954, and it was quite juvenile to begin with. But:It had a catchy Nat Cole song which had been a hit when this movie was released In its own way, it is a protofeminist film Female desert brigands attacked on horseback, many of then standing on their horses, wearing only bra type tops Preternaturally attractive leads; exotic looking feature players (esp. Blake and Stack) Some great lines (e.g. Female outlaw leader to captured woman dancer: can you ride and use a sword? Dancer: I have other ways of conquering men) Nice color Quick and simple entertainment.What is impressive about this not-very-expensive looking film is that all stunts were done by real people. Much more fun than computer generated effects.

Nazi_Fighter_David Anyone who has been married to both Ursula Andress and Bo Derek, must have something… Now in a white or orange turban and playing a brave young barber called Hajji Baba, in Isphahan, Persia, John Derek is still attractive to women and especially to Princess Fawzia (Elaine Stewart).In the Fifties, Derek was the dashingly good-looking young hero of adventure films, rated by his teenage female fans as a 10 on the scale of male beauty…In "The Adventures of Hajji Baba," Derek helps an insolent princess – disguised as a boy – on her way to marry a distant powerful prince (Paul Picerni) against the wishes of her father… Once they arrive to meet him, in the desert, they soon discover he is a rogue, whose plans for marriage are purely for one ambitious purpose… Hajji Baba then rebels against the prince, rescuing and winning the heart of the beautiful princess by believing in himself… The glamorous Elaine Stewart looked cool, lush and marvelous as the spoiled selfish cruel princess who walks through the entire motion picture expressing her bad temper, and silencing everyone by threat… By the early Seventies and despite public interest in her, Stewart's career did not fulfill its potential… Her phase was over, but she had certainly proved that she could be a star and, 35 years later, fans of Fifties' movies are still enamored of her

gator-31 The hauntingly beautiful music sung by Nat King Cole sets this movie apart from the other Arabian romance pictures, with the dashingly handsome John Derek as its hero. This is a movie that I saw many years ago when I was approximately 8 years old, and it has stuck in my memory.

ron-302 Liked it then... and would like to see it again. Loved the background singing of Nat King Cole. Cant wait for it to be on video! I would be interested in anyone knowing of a source of the video or whether it is available to purchase. Please note we use the PAL system in Australia.
