Quotes from

Shireen: The Rose certain Prince will always be remembered
Sinbad: Ever she spoken so tenderly of any other man
Shireen: Aldman!
Sinbad: Nothing, but shear gossip my beloved risen from the 3 moons
Shireen: However you got in here get out quickly leave at once or I Pirouze call the guards
Sinbad: Call'em
Shireen: Don't let him stay and have his head lopt off
Pirouze: oh It's a pleasing head
Sinbad: calm child, she doesn't really mean it you heard her speak devotion of me.


Emir: What a clothead! I doubt if he knows anything.
Melik: Sufficient my posturing peafowl, to addle your thick pate.
Emir: A maggot dreaming of power.
Melik: From a thousand tiny islands, all of a contour, can you select the exact isle? Where is it - East, West, North, South? As close as you think or as far as you suppose? No, you'll never find the isle of Dariabar without the benevolence of Prince Ahmed and myself.


Sinbad: No! For a danik she'll sell me to Satan... and you'll split your tongue trying to be the Prince of Dariabar. Can you name the day of the moon and the moon of the year when that medallion was first put upon me by father? Can you name the father's father of my father's father? Can you call to memory the hundred ancestors of my mother? Have you the blue eyes of the Ahmed? Have you a scar underneath your thirteenth rib?
Emir: No, but I...
[Sinbad whips out a hidden knife]

Facts about

"The Hedda Hopper Show - This Is Hollywood" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on March 29, 1947 with Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Maureen O'Hara reprising their film roles.
RKO had to scuttle its plan to present this film as a 1946 Christmas-season attraction when a strike at the Technicolor processing plant delayed the making of prints. The wide-release date would be moved up to January 13, 1947, with the Manhattan opening at the Palace Theatre following on January 22, 1947. Needing a black-and-white movie for its 1946 yuletide schedule, RKO chose a film destined to become a holiday perennial: Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life.
