I love old color movies from the forties,especially Arabian tales and adventure movies.Maria Montez comes to mind also.The genie was wonderfully cast in this movie.Evelyn Keyes plays a hip genie who dresses even sharper.Adele Jergens was miscast as the princess and should of been replaced by her handmaiden dusty anderson,a promising actress who was reduced to mostly uncredited roles.The costumes are spectacular in the film,and the sets are also dazzling.Charming and rather humble by todays mega-standards, I enjoy these movies more because of their charm.The array of colors in this movie is dazzling,especially the clothes.Andy dick could of played aladdin's sidekick and lindsay lohan the genie if this movie was to ever be remade.
