Glorious technicolor, Radiant Maureen O'Hara!,
Author: oguer22656 from Lakewood,CA

The costumes, locations, and action make up for the thin plot in this story of a princess
in search of her father's murderer. True, there are holes in the story, Maureen O'Hara
as a red-haired Turkish princess takes a stretch of imagination, but the look of the film is wonderful.
Vincent Price, as always, makes a menacing villian.
One wishes there was more romance, however. A good time, nonetheless.
