Summary: Hassan & Princess Marjan
Comment: Here's the companion film to 'Flame of Araby' (see my review of that film).
Shot in California, the mountainous ranges had to play substitute to the sands of Arabia - go figure.
I have never seen Paul Christian before, and I couldn't decide what to make of him. I think the picture of him on the VHS box is so handsome - and in parts of the movie, he did appear handsome - but in some scenes, he had such a little boy quality to him that I was kind of turned off.
The sets were very good, the acting quite good (Vincent Price's presence helps), Maureen's outfits were as beautiful as ever, especially the one where she does the dance for the gang of fellas decked out in black. There was some minor sword play in a scene or two, giving it a bit of the swashbuckling effect missing from the companion movie 'Flame of Araby'. This movie comes with the original theatrical trailer, but sadly, 'Flame' did not, for some reason.
All in all, I'd put this one at about 9.0 on the 1-10 scale. This movie had more of a plot to it, I'd say the acting was a bit better than it was in 'Flame', even if co-star Paul Christian didn't have the strong build that Jeff Chandler did in 'Flame'. It would be great if Universal would release these two movies on a double dvd. I would purchase it if they did, and I'm sure that other fans of the swashbuckling/Arabian adventures would too.

Summary: She was a goddess playing a princess!
Comment: Maureen O'Hara played her part in Bagdad to perfection. She became such a part of the movie that the viewer was drawn into the play and you could not be released even after the movie was over. You will compare all other films about that part of the world to this movie for the restr of your life!
