All Al Babson (Eddie Cantor) wants when he stumbles onto the set of a movie about Ali Baba is an autograph. Instead, he winds up with a head injury.

Critic Reviews for Ali Baba Goes to Town

All Critics (3) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (1)

As a musical show, Ali Baba Goes to Town is lavish, tuneful and handsomely produced. As a political satire, it's lighthearted and easygoing.
