In preparation for the film, Pasolini re-read the 1001 Nights with a more critical lens and chose only the stories that he felt were the most 'beautiful'. With this film, Pasolini intended to make a film of Arabian Nights based on his 'memory of it as a boy'. It preserves the eroticism and the story within a story structure of Arabian Nights and has been called "perhaps the best and certainly the most intelligent" of Arabian Nights film adaptations. The film contains abundant nudity, sex and slapstick humor. The film is an adaptation of several stories within the original collection but they are presented out of order and without the Scheherazade, Dunyazad and King Shahriyar frame story. The lead was played by young Franco Merli who was discovered for this film by Pasolini. It is the last of Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life", which began with The Decameron and continued with The Canterbury Tales. The film is an adaptation of the ancient Arabic anthology One Thousand and One Nights, also known as the Arabian Nights. Its original Italian title is Il fiore delle mille e una notte, which means The Flower of the One Thousand and One Nights. Arabian Nights is a 1974 Italian film directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini.
