The massive castle set was designed by Lloyd Wright, son of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It featured a real concrete floor and a drawbridge constructed out of wood-covered steel. Due to the shear size and cost of the set, Fairbanks would later reuse portions of it in “The Thief of Bagdad” (1924)

A recalcitrant thief vies with a duplicitous Mongol ruler for the hand of a beautiful princess.

Innovation : The first attempt to bring colour to cinema by colourising some of the scenes later after recording them in black and white.

The Thief Of Bagdad was a charming delight. Never seen it before and found it had more imagination than umpteen fantasy films that have come along since.

Ehhh, I don't know. A lot of people really love this movie. I did not. Apparently there were at least 3 directors so that may account for some of the messiness. And I mean, white actors in brown face are always a tough sell. The 3rd act was partially saved by Rex Ingram and Sabu having some extended screen time. But Connie, although glorious in Technicolor, was largely wasted on this one imo.
