Though "Aladdin" is one of our most interesting films we will probably have less publicity on it than any of our other films because we were able to get so few publicity shots.

It seemed that everything went wrong on the day we shot "Aladdin". To begin with much of the cast failed to show up. The "genie" had vanished to Mexico. The slave decided to visit a sick aunt. Wayne Hunt who had promised to be a slave apparently the role was too mental for him and didn't show up. Even our little Tom cat, Satan, who had an important role in the plot decided this was a good weekend to visit his ladyfriend on the next block. Though our studio is usually plagued with extra people, it seemed that on this day there was no one to fill in s extras in the film, to help with props, fix food for the cast etc.

With a change of cast, the original script was near useless and an unrehearsed script can mean some terrific headaches. By some magic we got through the film though we don't quite know how. We would have loved to reshoot several scenes but two of the keyplayers have left the country.
