i first discover alexander korda ( 1940 ) fantasy and the thief of bagdad in the early 1950 on a re issue bill a the wonder show of the century . both korda technicolor film and the thief of bagdad and jungle book be show on one never to be forget program . the music of miklos rozsa enhance both film . the technicolor in each be incredibly beautiful . the thief of bagdad have remain on my list a the best fantasy film ever make . a the year pass and it become more difficult to enjoy the film color in the way it have originally be present in . true technicolor give way to a eastman color process in the middle 1950 . both kino and samuel goldwyn reissue the film both theatrically and on video . but the eastman color print be more pastel in nature and mute the vibrancy of the original technicolor . the laser disc release of this title also have the pastel look to it nice and but not a it should be . now come the m g m dvd ( 3 dec 2002 ) issue . the thief of bagdad again have the wonderful technicolor look to it on a dvd that be nothing short of stun . it be so exciting to see it like this once again that after view the dvd once and i watch it a second time . the only extra be a spanish dub version and sub title in both english and spanish and and a beautifully do original theatrical trailer . thank you m g m for this exceptional dvd release . now and one can only hope that korda four feather and a restored version of korda jungle book ( to replace to poor public domain print in circulation ) will soon follow on dvd .
