Description:
Everyone loves a good Arabian Nights type of story. You know…..with a Genie, Sinbad the sailor,
Aladdin, a manly sultan, and gorgeous women. In 1990, director Philippe de Broca put together
just such a story on film, with a 21 year old Catherine Zeta Jones in the lead role of the beautiful
Sheherazade. Only thing is though, that Philippe is French, and since this was a French made film,
the spoken language of the film was in French. I’m not aware of this film ever being dubbed over
to English, and the DVD didn’t come with any English subtitles. I didn’t have the fortune to have any
French speaking friends to translate for me, and to be honest, seeing Catherine Zeta Jones naked,
pretty much translates quite well in any language. I’m not sure how he did it, and frankly I don’t
really care, but Big Bob over at VEF, was able to do just that……translate this CZJ classic into a set
of English subtitles, that he called, “BBNenglish” subs. With a bit of improvisation on Big Bob’s part,
1990’s Les 1001 Nuits, hard coded fan subbed into English.

Strange flick. Cannot give it more than a two stars–one for chick and one for effort. Music lousy, flick itself for kids but why naked chick–maybe it French thing? And if it all French why main actress is american and genie settle in England? Strange. And no English DVD and even French is expencive. Strange. And another strange thing–all movie looks like soft Islamic propaganda.
