Babes in Bagdad

Babes in Bagdad

1952
Comedy
Hassan, the Kadi of Bagdad, has a harem housing 12 beauties, but concentrates his attention on Zohara. A newcomer, Kyra, introduces rebellion into the harem by the unheard of act of complaining to the Caliph about the lot of the women in the harem. Hassan suffers a greater shock when his God-son, Ezar, asserts that women are the equal of men. They make a wager under which Ezar must settle down with a conventional harem unless Zohara can outwit Hassan within ten days. (imdb)

Clunky costume drama has an interesting (and timely) premise about gender inequality, but unfortunately never gets off the ground, thanks to a varied array of performances (ranging from stiff to overplayed); Goddard arguably fares best, but after a promising start, the film becomes mired in a suffocatingly stagey directorial style, which makes the end results flat and uninvolving. Still sort of interesting for the gender dynamics at play.
