(105 min. in Italy) Italian title: SHARAZ (this title also appears on an English language print) U.S. title: A THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS Eastmancolor, Panoramica Mini-review: This harmless and pleasant tale of Moorish Spain is particularly delightful for its cast: Raf Vallone (who plays a good-natured villain), Jeff Cooper (of Kaliman fame), Ruben Rojo (Cooper's sidekick and best remembered for his performance in EL BARON DEL TERROR/THE BRAINIAC), Luciana Paluzzi (Bond villainess, but a genie here), Ricardo Palacios (BLOOD OF FU MANCHU's Sancho Lopez), heartthrob Perla Cristal, and, of course, Paul Naschy in a small but not insignificant role as Chantal, one of the chief palace servants. Moorish locations and sunny weather also make the Sidney Pink production shine.
