4/5 Very Entertaining
by Jacob J. Levy (Australia)
This movie is 60 years old and is still enjoyable today as it was when I last saw it in 1950.

4/5 The Prince Who Was a Thief DVD
by Michael Teter
This Arabian Nights film starring the young Tony Curtis and Piper Laurie is not available on DVD in this country. I remembered the movie fondly from 1951
and tried to get a DVD version. This DVD is from Germany and one has a choice between German and English soundtracks. The quality is very good. The only problems are that the DVD is in PAL format and from region 2. This means that it is difficult to play in this country. I just ran it through the DVD player on my MAC, and it worked fine, although I can only change the region code a few times.

The Prince Who Was a Thief [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Germany ] Summary THIS DVD WILL NOT WORK ON STANDARD US DVD PLAYER

Germany released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), German ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Theodore Dreiser's noted story has here been turned into a well-acted and entertaining movie; and master director Mate draws a very fine performance from a very young Piper Laurie indeed. The storyline is a sense-of-life piece, one where the hero, ably played (if one ignores his accent) by young, handsome Tony Curtis who has been raised by the thief who spared his life years before discovers that he is the rightful Prince of the kingdom. To save his adopted father from death, he helps him catch the man who has stolen the great pearl on which the safety of the city from a hostile army depends. This mission involves him with two women, Tina, thief, daughter of a thief played by Laurie and the princess, ably played by Peggie Castle; of course there are thefts, escapes, arguments, misunderstandings, fine dialogue scenes, a Guild of Jackals who are both help and hindrance and an usually satisfying climactic battle and denouement to a romantic ending. Admas' script is masterful, the direction very smooth, and all the technical aspects unusually satisfying, specially Hans J. Salter's music. Those in the cast besides the leads include talented Everett Sloane, Bettey Garde, Donald Randolph,Hayden Rourke, Marvin Miller, and Jeff Corey. There are some dancing girls seen here, but there are also scenes in the great souk, first-rate comedy, a robbing of the Treasury that is a classic caper, and enjoyably-three-dimensional characters. Favorite line--the Prince appoints his father to be the new keeper of the keeper of the new keeper of the Treasury--the Master of the Guild of Jackals. Colorful, abound
