"A Thousand and One Nights" (1945) is a tongue-in-cheek Technicolor fantasy film set in the Bagdad of the One Thousand and One Nights, starring Cornel Wilde as Aladdin, Evelyn Keyes as the genie of the magic lamp, Phil Silvers as Aladdin's larcenous sidekick, and Adele Jurgens as the princess Aladdin loves.
