This month we'll feature the 1940 classic The Thief of Baghdad.

Michael Powell was one of three directors on this project. He left because he didn't think it was right to make such a fantasy at the same time that Britain was under bombardment from the Germans. But it is a most wonderful fantasy, and Powell's extraordinary sense of color permeates the film. The one sequence he claims as his - apparently there were others - is a marvel of shape, color and choreography. The film is ultimately about love, and how to achieve love at its most powerful, one must be both an adventurer and a thief. (106 minutes)
