Arabian Nights
Directed by John Rawlins
Starring Jon Hall, Maria Montez, and Sabu
USA, 86 min – 1942.
Part of a series of exotic pictures released by Universal in the 1940s (the others of which include Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and White Savage), Arabian Nights places the Hollywood spin on the classic tale of Scheherazade and her murderous husband. The name of the source material’s heroine – Scheherazade – is kept the same, while others are changed. The tale is twisted, so that there seems to be very little of the original myth and of the original Scheherazade. What is left are some names, supposed exotic places (“Arabia”), a brother’s feud, and humorous references to the stories of Aladdin and Sinbad. Arabian Nights becomes a campy adventure film to take war-minded audiences away to a far off place, for a while. It works.

President Obama made good on one of his campaign promises Friday (October 21) when he announced that he plans to bring nearly all U.S. troops home from Iraq by year's end.
"After nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over," Obama said during a press conference, according to CNN. "The coming months will be a season of homecomings. Our troops in Iraq will definitely be home for the holidays." By December 31, all but 150 of the 39,000 troops remaining in Iraq will be home, bringing an end to a lengthy battle that has taken 4,478 American lives, injured more than 32,000 and cost the nation more than $752 billion.
