Surrounding this are several illustrated vignettes depicting scenes from the film and promotional text highlighting various plot points. The film stars Dick Shawn, Diane Baker, and Barry Coe.

The reverse of the poster is stamped in red ink with WIZARD OF BAGHDAD / 1 SH 60 363, where 1 SH indicates the standard one-sheet size.
