Trivia
Magician Kazah (Paul Henreid) briefly transforms Ben Ali (Hans Conried) into a beautiful harem girl (Vivian Mason), whose voice is dubbed by Conreid to comical effect.

Goofs
At the beginning of the movie Kazah the Great performs a trick where he makes a girl vanish from a box. After he places her in the box, he tips it over to show she's gone. Watch toward the back edge of the box and the girl's fingertips will briefly appear above the edge of the box, showing she is still lying there behind the now-tilted box.

Quotes
Ben Ali: [to a guard] I beg your pardon. I realize they haven't been invented yet, but have you got a match?

Siren of Bagdad

Kazah the Great (Paul Henreid), a magician heads a troupe of girls and acrobats traveling in Arabia. The girls are stolen by Sultan El Malid Charles Lung), and Kazak joins forces with Zendi (Patricia Medina), the daughter of the rightful sultan that was deposed by Malid to get the girls back and rid Bagdad of the evil Soradin and Malid

Paul Henreid plays a magician who loses his dancing girls and he's quite breezier than usual which matches the strong tongue-in-cheek-cheek tone prelavent. It's a comedy adventure with some funny lines, lots of beautiful girls, the most idiotic sultan and a pantomime villain played by George Keymas. Patricia Medina adds some extra beauty as the former sultan's daughter. It's silly, has self aware campy humour, the plot is thin, but it's quite amusing.
