Title: Oriental Delights
Review: This movie was a delightful journey to the oasis of those uncomplicated 50s genre films with ingenuous hero and heroine, evil bad guys and the former triumphing over the latter. The main charachters Ali Baba, played by the charming French comic screen actor- Fernandel and Morgiane played by the winsome Samia Gamal are enchanting. Samia was the foremost Egyptian dancer of the 1950s and is simply a real cutie-pie, displaying the artistic true Egyptian roots of classical Oriental Dance in a couple of dance scenes througout the film. The background music features a mix of theatrical orchestra pieces which are perfectly suited to Gamal and her signature graceful, glamourous dance style and some fellahin (country-village style) inspired Egyptian music. The cinematography, story line and good triumphing over evil is just the right mix of light fantasy escapism we all could use right now to bring smiles to our faces and a bit of light laughter to our lives.
