There are many international film versions to the old "Arabian Nights" fable "Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves," but I have a feeling that the 1971 Turkish adaptation called "Ali Baba ve 40 Haramiler" might be the most interesting of them all!
The film, said to be an adventure/fantasy/comedy, stars the late Sadri Alisik (1925-1995) who was a popular Turkish film actor in his day.
Ali Baba will be shown publicly at 111 East 9th Street on Sunday, Feb. 28 @ 2:00 p.m.
Perhaps, I can get some of my movie buff friends in Virginia and North Carolina to show it closer to home.
It should be a hoot!
