Alibaba (1937): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming
1937 · Film
Released in 1937, Alibaba is a notable film directed by Modhu Bose, running about 115 minutes.
What it’s about. Based on the 'Arabian Nights', this film tells of the Baghdadi woodcutter Alibaba (M. Bose) and his magic 'Open Sesame' formula; of the hero's jealous brother Kasim and the slave girl Marjina (S. Bose). The film adapts the 1897 play, giving it a Hollywood-derived exotic flavour. An improvised 'modern' dance is inserted. The slow, mannered acting with the frontally framed tableau shots are enlivened by the dance scenes, especially the Marjina-Abdallah sequence.
Who’s in it. Alibaba stars Modhu Bose as Abdullah, Sadhona Bose as Marjina, Suprava Mukherjee as Fatima and Indira Roy as Sakina, among others.
