1001 Nights (1990)

Overview: 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.

Starring: Catherine Zeta-Jones, Gérard Jugnot, Thierry Lhermitte, Stéphane Freiss
