In ancient Baghdad, the wandering magician Kazah performs illusions for passing caravans—until bandits led by Hamid raid the camp and kidnap his troupe, including the beautiful Leda and others, spiriting them away to the slave markets of Baghdad. Now Kazah and his loyal assistant Ben Ali must navigate the dangerous streets and powerful figures of the city to rescue the stolen girls and reclaim what was taken from them. With magic, cunning, and unexpected allies, Kazah discovers that survival in Baghdad demands more than sleight of hand.
Howard Keel's rise from factory worker to Broadway star and Hollywood leading man is the subject of this 1953 profile, which traces his journey from day jobs and evening rehearsals through his breakthrough roles in "Carousel" and "Oklahoma" to his casting opposite Betty Hutton in the film "Annie Get Your Gun." The story captures how talent scouts discovered him and launched his movie career, culminating in his recent work in pictures like "The Desperate Search."
