Thief of Bagdad

In this silent classic, Douglas Fairbanks is superb as a mischievous thief who, with the help of a genie's magic, tries to outwit the evil ruler of Bagdad. A wondrous, fantastic adventure, THE THIEF OF BAGDAD showcases the talents of Fairbanks--the first and greatest of film swashbucklers. With the help of a magic rope and a magic carpet, the hero woos a beautiful princess and faces many mortal dangers, including fierce dragons, blazing fires, and swelling waters, in his quest to prove himself worthy of her love.

Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. arabesques about the vast, luxurious facades of the silent "Thief of Bagdad", from 1924, like an agile clarinet about a towering, symphonic score, leaping from palatial heights to the chaotic bazaar, to murky, subterranean dens. It's a delight of motion and curious props, as... Read full review »

The Thief of Bagdad (Deluxe Edition)

A spectacular accomplishment in production design and special effects, Raoul Walsh's The Thief of Bagdad is a bold Arabian adventure starring Douglas Fairbanks as a carefree pickpocket who turns his appealing brand of mischievous thievery toward the attainment of happiness... and an exotic Princess (Julanne Johnston). The only way he can win either is by retrieving the rarest treasures hidden within the mysterious Orient, a quest that grows more fantastic with every passing thrill, as the tenacious thief rises high above the city on a magic carpet, battles a fire-breathing dragon in caverns of flame and soars into the clouds on the back of a winged steed via innovative special effects. This special Kino on Video DVD is the definitive edition of Fairbank's classic, digitally mastered from a 35mm archive negative, with 19 minutes of rare outtakes and special effects footage.
