wonderful musical, 17 August 1999
Author: Joe-290

This may be considered as a remake of the movie 'Kismet' but it is a lot better. For one, it stars Elvis Presley plus it includes some great songs and beautiful women. The costumes and villains look exceptionally well. The actors are not too bad and the sets are magnificent. Not at all coming close to a great Elvis picture but certainly a very good one. Worth a watch.
