THIEF OF BAGDAD

Sales have ended for this event.

Swashbuckling movie icon Douglas Fairbanks stars in this classic film adventure about a slippery and stylish burglar who dares to fall in love with the daughter of the Caliph!

In a Bagdad influenced by the Arabian Nights, Douglas Fairbanks plays a thief who wins Princess Julanne Johnston by posing as a prince himself. But then, after a treasure hunt competition with the Princess' other suitors, he has got to save her by thwarting a power grab by Mongol prince Sojin Kamiyama. Thief features a festival of wonders: a flying horse, the Caverns of Fire, the Valleys of Monsters, the Flight of a Thousand Stairs, and magic carpets (suspended from a 90-foot-high crane by piano wires), with incredible, still-spectacular-to-this-day sets. Playwright/critic Robert Sherwood called it at the time "the farthest and most sudden advance that a movie has made."

USA, 1924, 155 min., Unrated, DCP | Director: Raoul Walsh
