    • Trivia
      Served as the inspiration for I Dream of Jeannie (1965), also starring Barbara Eden as Jeannie the genie, arguably her most iconic acting role.
    • Goofs
      King Solomon did not have 1000 wives as quoted by the genie. According to the Bible, 300 of them were only concubines, making his wife total actually 700.

    Before Andrew Divoff, there was.... Burl Ives!?!?!?

    Magically powerful, the ancient entity known as the D'Jinn can grant a person's wildest dreams, but in this day and age, can your lifestyle stand up to it?

    The flip side of THE WISHMASTER, this film is a delightful romp that is comical and heartwarming.

    Burl Ives is the D'Jinn, freed from 'The Brass Bottle" by architect Harold Ventimore (Tony Randall) -- who was intent on making it into a lamp!

    Based on the book by Thomas Anstey Guthrie, the story shows the chaos that engulfs Harold's life as "Mr. Fakrash" attempts time and again to reward him for freeing him from the bottle. Meaning to be kind, he systematically causes Harold to loose his job, his fiancé, and ultimately, his freedom -- as the world comes to see him as a lunatic. There is no room in this modern world for Hocus Pocus.

    I will not spoil the ending -- see it; this is one of Burl Ives' finest performances!

    At last --- it's on DVD!
