Kismet Ratings & Reviews
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Something went a little bit wrong with this most opulent version of the hoary old Edward Knoblock play.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Colorful yet lackluster MGM musical spectacular.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...the stage play went to the screen for Minnelli to direct. However, somewhere in the translation, something got lost.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The heavy-handed glittering Arabian Nights musical is a great watch visually, but unfortunately the storytelling is uninspiring.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Minnelli's weakest musical, with few redeeming qualities
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Poor film - but with some splendid musical numbers.
