A clever retelling of an old favourite from those 1,001 Nights in Arabia
The most clever and delightful of all the Ali tales. As always w/ Zeus the film was in excellent condition and had very clear video and audio. Why not 5 stars? Granada is a city in Spain and site of the Alhambra stories of Washington Irving and is nowhere near the Middle East. I look for authenticity in my films I watch because I am always looking for ideas I can use in my own writings to stimulate my own Muse.
