Kismet (1955)
2/10
Simply horrible

We can only hope that the Middle East never sees this movie ... or they'll attack us for sure! This is SO campy and stereotyped, it hurts to watch it.

Okay, so this was the style of musicals back in the 50s, but there are many others that were produced back then that aren't so embarrassing! This movie is really bad.

But I didn't give it a '1'. It did merit a '2' if not only for the occasional humor. The dialog is so bad that sometimes it is funny, and I wasn't quite sure if it was or was not intentional. So I gave them the benefit of the doubt.

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this film. It amazes me that some people out there actually gave it a good score. Go figure.
