This is about the 1924 film starring Douglas Fairbanks. There was also a 1940 film starring Sabu and a 1960 film starring Steve Reeves

The Thief of Bagdad is a 1924 Douglas Fairbanks swashbuckler adventure film which tells the story of a thief who falls in love with the daughter of the Caliph. In 1996, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

The movie, strong on special effects of the period (flying carpet, etc.) also proved a stepping stone for a scantily clad Anna May Wong, who portrayed a Mongol slave.
