1990
Adventure, Fantasy, Comedy | 11 April 1990
Catherine Zeta-Jones, Gérard Jugnot, Thierry Lhermitte
Sheherazade has been married to a ruler who wants many wives, but only one at a time. Consequently, as soon as he has bedded them, he has them put to death. In most retellings, the girl staves off this unfortunate conclusion by putting off the connubial event for a thousand and one nights, telling irresistible stories instead. In this one, she gets hold of a magic lamp.
