Answer
Hello Alexander,

THE THIEF OF BAGHDAD: Like many of the Italian produced movies of the 60's, this one was picked up by M-G-M for distribution in the USA. However, it would appear that they only had the cinematic rights and not the VHS and DVD rights. Embassy Home Entertainment held the VHS rights in the 80's, but, at the present time, it seems that no one holds the DVD rights and this one is just not available. Having said that, if you go to the following site, you can watch the movie on your computer......

JUMPING JACKS: This one is available in VHS from the following site......
