Night in Paradise (1946)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Arthur Lubin
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

High-school level drama set in ancient Greece stars Merle Oberon as a Persian princess. She is engaged to marry the miserly King Croesus but falls in love with Aesop who is a political prisoner in his kingdom. Aesop is disguised as an old and infirm man, but really is young and handsome. The King is also being tormented by a sorceress who appears in mirrors, flames, etc. About the only thing that kept me interested was Merle's costume changes.
