Aladdin’s Magic Lamp

A made-in Russia film version of the colorful Oriental fairy tale.
A wicked Maghribian wizard appealed to the stars to tell him the name of the man who would find a magic lamp capable of performing miracles. The stars responded: “It’s Aladdin”. The beautiful daughter of a Sultan, Boudour, lives in Bagdad. Anyone who dares to look at her is to be executed. But the willful and capricious princess commands Aladdin to look at her. The moment the young man did so, he fell in love with her. And the magic lamp with the omnipotent genie in it, ready to fulfil any wish of his master, helped Aladdin to protect his love and win over the Maghribian.
