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.
