"I am Free after 10,000 years."

I think that's what the Genie said in "Shazzam," but I don't think the movie is old enough to be the one you're talking about.

Try some of the advanced search features in www.imdb.com - I believe you can search the plot summaries (search for "genie") and also the "quotes" section.

Tricking the genie back into the bottle is part of the story of Alladin and the magic lamp in one of the old movies. They are not always titled 'Alladin' though. The story comes from the '1001 Nights' stories, so there are movies featuring that story and several others and titled 'Arabian Nights' or '1001 Nights' or something like that. There are several in the 1940s and 1950s. I think "Arabian Nights' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034465/ of 1942 is the really famous one.

Interesting trivia: One of the actors in that movie is Shemp Howard, yes, 'Shemp' of the Three Stooges. Didn't know they ever did anything else.

Was it an old 1940 movie? like perhaps "The thief of Bagdad"? That's the one that comes to mind when you say a grouchy genie that says "FREE at Last after 10,000 years."



Cheers!

Ya, I think it is probably The Thief of Bagdad.

"Free! Free! Muahahahahaha! Free! ..."

A very good film. Gotta love the executioner's sword, and well, lots of stuff.

Cirvol: heh!
