The Thief of Baghdad (1924) stars Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. and Anna May Wong. It is directed by Raoul Walsh.
It's online at youtube in 14 pieces. Part 1:
part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7, part 8, part 9, part 10, part 11, part 12, part 13, part 14
Or Kino Video has a beautiful edition.
1000 Misspent Hours doesn't like Fairbanks' performance. There was a remake in 1940 starring Sabu (one of Roger Ebert's "great movies": "This 1940 movie is one of the great entertainments. It lifts up the heart.") and another in 1961 starring Steve Reeves. Hey! Don't laugh! I like Steve Reeves.
