The Thief of Bagdad (1924) (6/10)

A pantomime from the Arabian Nights. The low points (and 6 is not low) it gets is mainly because it is pantomime, and rather long (and pantomime). Obviously it can not compete with Indiana Jones as far as effects are concerned. But it has a great simple story and lots of ups and downs as also villains. The age tells, but so does the timelessness.
