In the 1924 version of The Thief of Bagdad, no character is named, right?
Best Answer
Are any characters in the 1924 version of The Thief of Bagdad named?
Yes.
The film is a silent movie with a musical soundtrack, occasionally writing appears and infrequently people are specifically named. Example: "Harun al-Rashid" (the fifth Abbasid Caliph), "Cham Shang" (prince of the Mongrels), "Ahmed, prince of the isles" (the thief of Bagdad, posing as a prince), "this Ahmed who calls himself a prince, hunt him down", "the learned doctor, Zakariya of Kufa" or "Great Khan" (another reference to Cham Shang).
Wikipedia mentions a few characters but IMDb reveals the full cast, their names, and the production crew, where it was filmed and technical details, even a photo gallery. The listing of the cast is complete but the naming of each character is lacking. Also see Heritage Auctions list of 112 movie posters.
