Trivia
This is the movie in which Tony Curtis delivers his famous line, usually misquoted as "In yonda valley lies da castle of my fadda". What he actually says is, "This is my father's palace, and yonder lies the Valley of the Sun", without any of the mispronunciations.

Those were the Days

Ali Baba films in its day were always enjoyable, with a good adventure built in. The son of Ali Baba is not in the same mould, even with the lead played by Tony Curtis. Nevertheless it's still a sword buckling event and nice to view in 2020, thinking of Those were the Days . . .
