1940 月宮寶盒 The Thief of Bagdad
由密契爾·鮑威爾等三位導演聯合執導的一部歷久彌新的神話片。故事取材於阿拉伯神話，內容大致描述一個會妖術的奸相賈法，用陰謀詭計把巴格達城的阿麥王拘禁起來，然後自號為王。阿麥後來得到同牢的小神阿菩相助而逃走。賈法為了得到公主，把阿麥變成瞎子，並把阿菩變成一條狗。最後得巨人相助，終於射殺賈法，讓阿麥重新成為巴格達城的國王。導演手法相當統一流暢，而且對光影的運用別有一手。此外，本片有很多建築宏偉的佈景和模型，運用起來都很恰當，交互剪接之後也沒有什麼明顯的破綻。
Legendary producer Alexander Korda’s marvel The Thief of Bagdad, inspired by The Arabian Nights, is one of the most spectacular fantasy films ever made, an eye-popping effects pioneer brimming with imagination and technical wizardry. When Prince Ahmad (John Justin) is blinded and cast out of Bagdad by the nefarious Jaffar (Conrad Veidt), he joins forces with the scrappy thief Abu (the incomparable Sabu, in his definitive role) to win back his royal place, as well as the heart of a beautiful princess (June Duprez). With its luscious Technicolor, vivid sets, and unprecedented visual wonders, The Thief of Bagdad has charmed viewers of all ages for decades.
