Up in Smoke

The Brass Bottle. "This is not Baghdad, it's Pasadena!" croaks Tony Randall as a camel caravan approaches his front lawn. From the antique urn that he bought for a gift, he has uncorked a fat green djinni, waiting to get out and wield magic. Randall's djinni happens to be Burl Ives, who complicates a routine romantic farce by conjuring up slaves, seneschals, dromedaries, elephants, a shapely blue djinniyeh (Kamala Devi) and a tonic belly dancer (LuLu Porter). Soon, of course, Randall has to explain all the whimsical phenomena to his fiancee, Barbara Eden. This chore convinces him that nothing that comes out of the Bottle is worth what goes into it. He's quite right too. Audiences may choose to stay home where they can rub their television sets and hope for a miracle.
