Egyptian Fakir with Dancing Monkey

Film Review by Dean Duncan May 28, 2015

The camera is in a poor spot. We’ve got some pretty cool dancing here, much abetted by props and costume, and, of course, the proprietor. A little ways into the film the viewer notices that goat standing patiently and precariously on that little platform. You watch for that which the title proclaims, and you realize that there’s almost always so much more.
