Barbara Eden was a far better genie, which makes this film pathetic.

** (out of four) There must be something in here that would later inspire the "I Dream of Genie" sitcom. I can see why since this premise works much better as a hal hour skit than a full length film. Barbara Eden is the fiancee of Tony Randall, who has a genie of his own...in the form of Bur Ives! I think Eden's genie is a bit more memorable.

The Brass Bottle is not a bad-little movie. For that is what it is -- a little movie, well-made but rather unpretentious.
