When Sultan Said discovers his wife locked in a passionate embrace with
his only brother, he flings his sword at the prince and accidentally
murders his adulterous queen. Tortured by his wife's ghost, the maniacal
and cowardly sultan must marry another to save his kingdom, but to
avoid future matrimonial disgrace he plans to have her executed the
morning after the wedding. Fortunately for him, Scheherezade, the grand
vicar's daughter played by the lovely Mili Avital, jumps at the
challenge and
the chance to
marry her childhood love. A master storyteller, the newly crowned
sultana escapes death night after night with her mesmerizing tales of
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Aladdin and his Magic Lamp, countless
warriors, supernatural duels, and ferocious genies.
Although
the main story line falls short of Scheherezade's seductive tales,
audiences will be enchanted with fantastic special effects, elaborate
costumes, and the magic of Persia. Wonderfully directed and edited by
Steve Barron, Hallmark's Arabian Nights will particularly appeal to fans
of magical computer-effects laden television miniseries.
