Levine for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film stars Donald O'Connor as the title character. At this time, O'Connor was reaching the decline of his career after many years of fame. Cast
ProductionO'Connor signed to make the film in October 1960.[1] O'Connor said "The story of Aladdin has been done by everyone but this is its first time around as a comedy."[7] The Wonders of Aladdin was produced in tandem with The Thief of Baghdad, with producer Joseph E. Levine, set designer Flavio Mogherini, cinematographer Tonino Delli Colli and special effects artist Mario Bava working on both films. Levine sold the film's worldwide distribution rights to MGM as part of a three picture deal, the others being two films starring Steve Reeves, Morgan the Pirate and The Thief of Bagdad.[2] ShootingThe film was shot in location in Tunisia with studio work in Rome. Filming started December 1960. The Tunisian government were keen to attract filmmakers to the region and provided much assistance, including the loan of their army as soldiers.[3] According to camera operator Marcello Gatti, Henry Levin directed "80%" of The Wonders of Aladdin, while Bava's on-set contributions consisted of second unit direction and supervising the film's special effects. Because Bava was also in charge of the film's post-production process in Italy, such as its dubbing, Italian and French prints use the credit "A film by Henry Levin, directed by Mario Bava". English language prints only credit Levin with direction.[4] While filming in Tunisia in December, Donald O'Connor suffered a blood haemorrage on this throat and had to be rushed to hospital.[5] Vittorio de Sica played a small role. It only took a week but the actor said it was "very tiring because of the tricks."[6] In January, three Americans on the film - O'Connor, Levin and writer Henry Motofsky - accidentally crossed the Tunisian border into Algeria 20 miles south of Tozeur while scouting locations in the Sahara Desert and were arrested. They were held for three hours then returned to the film unit.[7] Filming finished in March 1961.[8] "From now on I'll do nothing but drawing room comedies," said O'Connor, "and the only location I'm going on is in my backyard".[9] ReceptionCritical receptionAllmovie, while not particularly favorable toward the film, called it "a fun movie".[10]Box OfficeAccording to MGM records it made a loss of $276,000.[11] References1. ^'Aladdin' O'ConnorThe Washington Post, Times Herald 16 Oct 1960: G2. 2. ^PRIVATE BACKING FOR FILMS URGED: Producer Here Plans System Similar to Broadway's -- 2 Movies Opening TodayBy EUGENE ARCHER.
