Special effects are as old as the movies themselves - and while technology has improved over the years, the magic doesn’t always fade because the film is old. This wonderfully inventive silent adventure features one of the biggest stars of the day, Douglas Fairbanks, noted for his athletic stunts, in a breathless tale of dangerous quests, evil wizards and flying carpets. It’s great fun to see how much was possible before computers – and even before sound!
