A 1960 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Ali Baba et les quarante voleurs (released in the U.S. as "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" and "Dance of Desire" [see below]), the 1954 Jacques Becker French Arabian Nights romantic crime comedy starring Fernandel (in the title role as Ali Baba), Samia Gamal, Dieter Borsche, Henri Vilbert, and Edouard Delmont. Note that while we can find U.S. newspaper articles about the filming of this movie, we can find no theater ads for it. This indicates that, if there was a U.S. release in the 1950s, it was very limited. When the film was released in the U.S. in 1960, it was titled "Dance of Desire" and marketed almost as a sexploitation movie, focusing on Samia Gamal and her "torrid dance" scenes! While the 1960 release could be the first U.S. release for this film, we'll list it as a re-release until we learn more. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: good to very good. There is minor pencil writing at lower right in the blank border but overall it is in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
