...Thief of Bagdad (United Artists), which Technicolors most of the natural phenomena in sight between London and Hollywood, including the Grand Canyon and the Painted Desert. Against this setting, young Hindu Cinema Star Sabu, a brown-skinned blend of Mickey Rooney and Jon Hall, snatches food from Arab peddlers, scampers mischievously through vari-hued sultans' palaces, grapples with monsters, summons a towering genie, flies over the top of the world, blows up the Grand Canyon and brings love to the lives of slim, handsome Ahmad (John Justin, now a pilot with the R.

Instead, he operated in a blood bath, stitched up his patients' intestines, closed their abdomens without further ado. When the victims recovered like clockwork, with no hint of peritonitis, he decided that free outpouring of blood in the peritoneal cavity might be more help than harm...
