    • Trivia
      According to the diaries of Milo O'Shea, the role of Khasim was originally intended for Kenneth Williams. To his displeasure, he ostensibly turned down the part to avoid having to wear a turban as Williams had done in Carry on Up the Khyber (1968).
    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits start out with the title on the front cover of a thick hard backed book opened by a hand with the first page listing A John Dark-Kevin Connor Production.

    An interesting take on Aladdin
    Such a beautiful film and given the time it was made, that's shocking. It has a rather crisp color palette that I think is only found with Archer films. Sadly, the film chose to make creative differences from the original and more known version of story. Thus, the film starts as a confusing tale with an expectation for Aladdin-esque or Thief of Baghdad-esque story but got a weird smorgasbord of different highlights of those film and that really shifts expectation. It also has a weird structure and a lack of focus in major players that is unexpected for a film of this level and production. Not good but respectable.
