Arabian Nights

Plot Summary: To cure a prince's murderous madness, Scheherezade tells him story after wondrous story which include the tales of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp. All the while, the Sultan's villainous brother is making plans of his own and Scheherezade's stories are more useful against him than anyone can anticipate.

Carter Review: This is a gem of a made-for-TV movie. It is 3 hours long, but don't be frightened by that. It is a GREAT movie to watch in bits and pieces since it is a conglomeration of so many different stories. The mini-stories are magical, as is the overall story.
