    Where to Watch

Otis Skinner re-creates his stage role of the Arabian beggar-philosopher who becomes rich and tries to marry his daughter to a prince. Loretta Young.

Costly costume production with Skinner (at age 72 portraying a character half his age) as a rogue who will do anything for gold. Within the course of 12 hours, he kills two enemies, arranges his daughter's wedding, and goes from rags to riches and back again. Skinner played this part superbly, but Young and Duncan--though captivating--do little acting. Good production with solid direction.
