Trivia:
Magician Kazah (Paul Henreid) briefly transforms Ben Ali ('Hans Conreid') into a Beautiful Harem Girl (Vivian Mason), whose voice is dubbed by Conreid to comical effect. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: At the beginning of the movie Kazah the Great performs a trick where he makes a girl vanish from a box. After he places her in the box, he tips it over to show she's gone. Watch toward the back edge of the box and the girls fingertips will briefly appear above the edge of the box, showing she is still laying there behind the now tilted box. moreFAQ

While many have panned this film, the dancing and theatrics were excellent entertainment.
Costuming and sets were well done and while the plot lacked a lot of depth, the mirth and special effects were interesting and ahead of other offerings from the mid 1950's.
Casting was done with relative unknowns that worked diligently at coming across as middle eastern while obviously actually being from Mexico or South America...(distinct Spanish dialect in the accents).
Dancing and magic was fun and believable. Sit back and enjoy, but don't expect any surprises...
