Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves

Ali Baba, son of the Kalif of Bagdad is brought up by the 40 Thieves after his father is killed by the soldiers of Hugalu Khan, who received the necessary information by traitor Cassim. Ali becomes the leader of the thieves and they are fighting for the freedom of his land. Per chance Ali captures the fiancée of Hugalu Khan, who turns out to be his girl friend Amara. After a few misunderstandings Ali uses her wedding day with Hugalu Khan as the day for the liberation of Bagdad.


The Way of St. James (ie: The Way of Western Freemasonry) is first and foremost a French road (Grand Orient). 80% of all Pilgrims who assemble in Paris at the Tour St. Jaques to undertake the journey into Spain are French, while the remainder speaks mostly English or German. On "The Way" French is the language spoken at all the Monasteries and Cathedrals.

The allegory behind the quest is that of Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. Upon their return to Paris, Pilgrims will stand at the door of the Louvre Museum in Paris and proclaim out loud "Open...we are Friends" (Open Sesame - open meaning "ouvre" in French, plus we know that there is no "L" from the Christmas carol, "Noel, noel". Also, phonetically speaking, Sesame in French is C'est amis; or again in English, "Its friends"). Now you should also overstand why Jim Hansen produced Sesame Street, the baby-sitter who indoctrinated your kids early. Remember the photograph depicting the leaders of the worlds largest economies, the G8, standing before the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre Museum? Those people were representing Ali Baba and his 40 Thieves who come to the Louvre Museum requesting admission to Freemasonry's 40th degree. For them "Life begins at 40".

If possible i really need help to find a movie.

What i remember is that near the end, two men who were seeking a magical eye or amulet or something like that, they are in a room and they see it all the way against the cieling, buy it is an optical illusion and he can just grab it. Later, they have a fight with the big baddie and he wishes for his heart in his hand and he stabs it, after which you see a glass window of him which fall apart

If someone can help it would be reallly appriciated :)

why not upload the whole film?

[onceaboy1947]

Despite for some reason being preceded here by a few minutes of a documentary on The Davinci Code, which is completely unrelated to it, this is an excellent clip from Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves (filmed in 1943), with the wonderful 12 years old Scotty Beckett giving a charismatic performance as the young Ali throughout the first reel. If only he could have played Ali throughout the rest of the film, instead of "growing up" into Jon Hall. R.I.P. Scotty Beckett, who came to a very tragic end.
