Review of Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp

. . . meaning that it is mostly about the hubris of people who have nothing of which to be proud. As a docudrama about one of history's most famous "You-know-who's," ALADDIN AND HIS WONDERFUL LAMP opens with the no-talent dame in question having delusions of being able to create a screenplay (in contrast to the job for which she apparently was hired, which is to mindlessly type up accurate copies of movie scripts in the dark ages before copy machines and digital devices were invented). Instead of working diligently at a task which would obviously require ALL of her brain power (and then some), the mutinous skirt gives her time on the company dime over to day-dreaming about what it would be like to compose a fairy tale of her own--starring herself, of course! The ensuing mess is trotted out as ALADDIN AND HIS WONDERFUL LAMP, featuring the scrawny bean-pole Olive as the lead female character. The result is a total disaster, of course, showing exactly WHY wenches are seldom awarded the weapons of story telling. Summing up, ALADDIN AND HIS WONDERFUL LAMP ends with a jobless Olive forced onto the streets for ignoring the main functions of her job, providing an excellent cautionary tale to prompt females entering the workforce to keep their noses to the grindstone--and NEVER try to think for themselves!
