Interesting facts

The Thief of Baghdad is a 1961 film directed by Arthur Lubin and starring Steve Reeves.

Production

The film was partly financed by Joseph E. Levine with Titanus. Filming was to have started in Rome on 15 July 1960. The start date was pushed back to August. Filming also took place in Tunisia.

Lubin later said "the location was interesting but the picture was hard work... the producer had never made a movie before and the company was running out of money. I had a complete Italian crew and I didn't speak the language. So the work was difficult. By the time I got to Tunis I had wised up. I had two assistant directors – one who spoke French and one who spoke Tunisian.
