Two "A"s for The Thief of Bagdad
The Thief of Bagdad receives "A" ratings from this week's issues of Entertainment Weekly and The Onion A.V. Club: Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker calls it "as glorious as any adventure film ever made... Alexander Korda's The Thief of Bagdad is both lush and playful, a fairy tale with gasping suspense...truly a DVD release for all ages, and a film for the ages." Scott Tobias of The Onion A.V. Club writes that "Alexander Korda's awe-inspiring 1940 production of The Thief of Bagdad [is] a Middle Eastern fantasia that springs from the screen like an illustrated storybook come to life."
