VHS Movie Reviews of The Thief of Baghdad [VHS]

Movie Review: My Favorite Fantasy Movie of all Time!
Summary: 5 Stars

Great Fantasy and Romantic: I love this movie! When I was young would turn on the Family Film Festival every Sunday hoping they were showing either this or (my second favorite)the Magic Pony.It is worlds better in directing than the fantasy movies they make today (with the exception of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings). Even better the villain doesn't suffer from that bane of the modern fantasy film: Overacting Bad Guy Syndrome (one need only watch the Dungeons and Dragons movie or Eragon to get an overdose of this horror. This movie begs to be remade with modern special effects but I would settle just for a good DVD copy. I searched stores by the hundreds but all I could find was the silent version (which I bought) and the Sabu version (which I didn't as it is more of an Aladdin story. The Copy I have now is a DVD made from an old VHS copied from the Television and the film is faded and jerky. Still its better than nothing.

Movie Review: Theif of Bagdad 1961 movie
Summary: 4 Stars

The movie arrived in a protective plastic cover with the origial box & cover. The movie itself was in very good condition and just as good as I rememebered seeing it at a saturday mattinee when I was a kid. I am very sattisfied.

Movie Review: Steve Reeves best role!
Summary: 5 Stars

I actually found a VHS copy of this film several years ago, and it's one of my most favorite films. Steve Reeves is perfect as a heroic thief in this Arabian fantasy. The story and action sequences keep the viewer interested. Overall, a great addition to anyones collection.

Movie Review: Thief of Baghdad 1961
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this movie when I was a young child- in the 60's, and was facinated by the Arabian Nights story, characters and magic. I hadn't thought about "The Blue Rose" in years, until I attended a Halloween Party last night and I remembered a reoccuring dream that I had as a child; A tall Arabian Man in a turban is chasing me with a shiny Scimitar - as he starts to bring his blade down on me- I wake up.
I had this dream from childhood well into my 30's. I imagine this is the movie that prompted the "scary" dream.
I wish it was available on DVD! LOL

Movie Review: THE GREATEST BODYBUILDER OF ALLTIME IN ONE OF HIS BEST FILMS
Summary: 5 Stars

If you like action/adventure, sword and sandal films, get this movie.It has a good story,decent acting(even with dubbed voices),and an above average musical score.The added benefit of course is Steve Reeves, the greatest bodybuilder of them all.He came from an era where it wasn't about how many different kinds of steroids your body could absorb.Health was still a major part of the bodybuilding scene at that time. He learned alot about healthy eating habits from his mother, who had been a nutritionist.Although born in Montana, Steve grew up in Oakland where he began lifting weights.Coincidentally, Oakland is where the first health opened. (Jack LaLanne 1936)When Steve burst on the bodybuilding scene in the mid 1940's it caused quite a sensation.His proportions were astounding. Remember, back then the goal was to look like a Greek god not a walking freak show.At a height of 6'1" and 214 pounds, Steve's neck, biceps, and calves all measured 18 and a half inches. His chest measurement was 52 inches and his waist was a miniscule 29 inches. At the time he was considered for the lead role in the movie SAMSON AND DELILAH which later went to Victor Mature. He appeared in a number of television shows pre-Hercules, Topper, Ozzie and Harriet, and several others.Of course he had a part in the movie ATHENA. He even acted in an old Ed Wood movie.Someone like Reeves comes around once in a lifetime. He carried himself with class and dignity up until his death in 2000. He succumbed to lymphoma. I would also recommend his book on nutrition and weightlifting to anyone interested.
