i tap this masterpiece from the tv about 3 to 4 year ago and i have probably see it maybe 15 to 20 time . each time i see it and more and deep message come to me about the real message that this movie portray . this film be now 75 year old and i say one thing and it give the movie of today one good run for their money . look at the special effect that could and be do with less than maybe a quarter of the equipment that we have today . i even like this version of the thief of bagdad more than the 1940 version . it be that excite .
