Trivia
Served as the inspiration for Jeannie de mes rêves (1965), also starring Barbara Eden as Jeannie the genie, arguably her most iconic acting role.

Goofs
King Solomon did not have 1000 wives as quoted by the genie. According to the Bible, 300 of them were only concubines, making his wife total actually 700.

Quotes
Harold Ventimore: I *swear* to you there was a lunatic in this room.
Eddie: There still is.

Will buy this when and if it's released on DVD

I was a child when I last saw this film, probably on television ... remember it as being incredibly funny and charming and would really enjoy seeing it again!

Burl Ives was a perfect genie ... can still recall the name of the great Fakrash el-Aamash after forty years, which is to say that the film made a remarkable impression. It would be interesting to see whether my sense of humor has changed all that much in the interim.

The Brass Bottle seemed quite a bit better than the TV series "I Dream of Jeannie" that was inspired by it ... absolutely delightful, if my memory can be a reliable guide.
