Arabian Nights still

Arabian Nights is a 1942 American adventure film in Technicolor, directed by John Rawlins and starring Jon Hall, Maria Montez and Sabu. The film is derived from The Book of One Thousand and One Nights but owes more to the imagination of Universal Pictures than the original Arabian stories. Unlike The Thief of Bagdad (1940) and other films in the genre, it features no monsters or supernatural elements.
