Bagdad (1949)
Bagdad adventure
8 January 2023
This time it is not an Universal Studios colorful exotic adventure from the late forties starring Maria Montez and Jon Hall, but Maureen O'Hara and Vincent Price as an exquisite traitor; how could it be else? But seeing Maureen O'Hara - the Scarlet O'Hara of Hollywood - in an Arab prince's daughter, well, it adds to the charm of this totally unbelievable and incredible tale...The flaming Irish red headed star can not look like an Arab woman in anyway, unlike Maria Montez or Yvonne De Carlo - but with lost of make up for those two.... So, for once I think there was a midcast in this agreeable little feature, which the topic is so predictable. But beware, despite the title, it is not a One Thousand and One Nights story, but a more or less modern adventure feature. Maureen O'Hara will also play with Charles Lamont in FLAME OF ARABY. Same kind of film too.
