Movie review - "Thief of Bahgdad" (1961) **

Steve Reeves puts his clothes on for this version of the popular tale which benefits from location filming in Tunisia. There's color and movement but the script is wonky - it takes too long to get started and was confusing with erratic dubbing. The cast are of decent quality - Reeves isn't very expressive but the support cast I mean.

I feel the fantasy elements were introduced too late - it's like they're all in the second half.
