Henreid and Conried do a lesser version of the Bob Hope-Bing Crosby road formula as they run around Baghdad. Henreid is a magician and woman chaser, helped by his cowardly assistant Conried (later the voice of Snidley Whiplash and other characters in Jay Ward cartoons). Henreid temporarily ends his numerous affairs when he meets Medina, but he gets more than he planned for when he finds her father Fox is a deposed sultan. Lung is the current sultan who is so enamored by his harem that he does not notice his assistant Keymas is up to no good. Leave it to H and C to fix everything in this amiable, good looking comedy. The supporting players are admirable, providing a goodly amount of chuckles. Production values are fine with nice, colorful settings. leave a comment
