Arabian Nights is a 1942 adventure film directed by John Rawlins and starring Sabu, Maria Montez, Jon Hall and Leif Erickson. The film is derived from The Book of One Thousand and One Nights but owes more to the imagination of Universal Pictures than the original Arabian stories. This action-packed adventure film is worth a watch. The basic summary is about a man who ends up getting revenge and banding together with some close friends, including a slave girl who is his love interest in this yarn of palace intrigue and murder as two brothers battle for the kingdom's throne. Chase scenes, sword fights and comedy are sprinkled throughout the story. It is a fun film, and the picture, shot in Technicolor, is beautiful with excellent landscapes, colorful costumes, and much more come to life in the vibrant color that this film was shot in. If you want to watch something fun that doesn't require much thinking, then this movie won't let you down.
