Sabu #13


Sabu-13, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

Following the release of THE JUNGLE BOOK, Sabu settled in Hollywood and appeared in many of the exotic, Technicolor feature films that starred Maria Montez and Jon Hall. In ARABIAN NIGHTS, he has this surprising encounter while emerging from a one of the series' trademark azure pools. Although extremely popular in their day, the Montez-Hall films were assembly-line products that could hardly compare with the quality of Sabu’s earlier films for Alexander Korda. Needless to say, they did little to advance his career.
