Dance number from ALI BABA & THE FORTY THIEVES(1944). This incredibly elaborate dance
number was re-used in its entirety in the 1965 film THE SWORD OF ALI BABA starring Jocelyn Lane. When I saw SWORD OF ALI BABA I knew this sequence was lifted from another film as the look and aspect ratio wasn't from the 1960s but I didn't know which film. Then I saw the 1944 film and bingo. For the 1965 film, they basically wrote an entire film around the re-used footage. It's mind boggling. This also shows that not just Italian PEPLUMS were doing this money saving practice.

Stock footage is indeed very important for video productions and movies like these. It reduces costs but the quality is still very good.
