for the most part and i only enjoy the kind of movie that allow one to escape the current time into the future or past . this movie be pure escapism . the dancing start almost immediately and and debra paget in her purple harem bikini dress simply have no equal in film in my opinion . her dancing and while sultry and be surpass by her dance in fritz lang tiger of eschnapur and available on dvd and where she play the temple dancer seetha . one problem with the movie be the closed setting . there be few outdoor scene shot and and they as well a other scene be a bit claustrophobic . the same location be use over and over again and but with some interesting secret passage and waterway . her secret double identity be totally unbelievable with beauty of that magnitude . debra even wield a sabre and hold 2 enemy soldier at bay on a staircase and she could do it all . what do work be debra paget a a princess . with her beauty and she certainly would be the center of attention anywhere at any time in history . this movie and when hopefully it become available on dvd and will be a must buy . overall and take with a bit of humor and i love it .
