The Thief of Bagdad (1940 film)
The Thief of Bagdad is a 1940 British fantasy film produced by Alexander Korda, and directed by Michael Powell,
Ludwig Berger, and Tim Whelan, with contributions by Korda's brothers Vincent and Zoltan, and William Cameron Menzies.
It starred child actor Sabu, Conrad Veidt, John Justin, and June Duprez.
Ahmad (John Justin), the naive King of Bagdad, is convinced by his evil Grand Vizier, Jaffar (Conrad Veidt),
to go out into the city disguised as a poor man to get to know his subjects (in the manner of his grandfather
Harun al-Rashid). Jaffar then has Ahmad thrown into a dungeon, where he is joined by Abu the thief (Sabu),
son of Abu the thief, grandson of Abu the thief. Abu arranges their escape. (from wikipedia.org)
