This is unofficial remake of the original (1924) Thief of Bagdad - not the better known Korda version from 1940 (that has quite a different plot), but the original one with Douglas Fairbanks. Both of those films are masterpieces and The Golden Arrow is definitely not quite up there, but even if it is not perfect, the colors are lavish, real Egyptian settings are magnificent and if you can get past Tub Hunters platinum blond hair and some uneven special effects - this is quite a delightful fantasy movie. But, again not for those who expect only grind-house movies from Margheriti. Watch only a high quality wide screen version!
