The Magic Carpet is a 1951 fantasy adventure. The script is by David Matthews, Lew Landers is the director and Sam Katzman is the producer. It's the fourth film in the Lucille Ball First Lady Of Comedy 4 movie DVD set. I found mine used for $2.95 at a local shop. It seems to be out of stock at Amazon. A lot of things are going out of print so fast nowadays.
Joining Lucy are John Agar, George Tobias, Patricia Medina and Raymond Burr. The story is a hodgepodge of Middle Eastern adventures with plenty of action. Sadly, some of the fist fights and the sword play are kind of poor. I guffawed loudly when I saw John Agar wielding his scimitar, yet it's the least funny of the 4 films in the set. I'm less likely to want to re-watch this one. I do like the foreign version of the poster.
