Revised Final Draft script for the 1944 film. Screenwriter Hartmann's final submission for the master mimeo, with profuse holograph corrections, typeovers, attached text, and pasted-in text throughout.
The second of Universal's Technicolor fantasy adventures (after "Arabian Nights," 1942, and "White Savage," 1943), loosely based on the classic Arabian Nights tales, with a fitting score by Edward Ward to match Lubin's directorial flair. A fun, but often overlooked, desert romp.
