Ali Baba Goes to Town

When autograph hunter Al Babson (Eddie Cantor) is injured on the set of a film adaptation of "Arabian Nights," he takes too much pain medication and dreams he's in ancient Baghdad, where he's mistaken for Ali Baba. Serving as prime minister to the sultan, Babson orchestrates political reforms that deftly satirizes Roosevelt's New Deal. With Tony Martin, Roland Young, June Lang, John Carradine, Gypsy Rose Lee (billed as Louise Hovick), and Raymond Scott and His Quintet. 77 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
