Do you have a heart for adventure and an eye for beauty? Then gather round - young ones, too - for a rousing journey into eye-opening wonder with the boldest captain of them all: Sindbad! Amid fantastic realms and unending dangers, Sindbad battles to save both the princess he loves and the downtrodden people of exotic Baristan from the cruel clutch of a tyrant who possesses the power of dark sorcery. Geysers of flame, giant crocodiles, hordes of -wielding palace guards, a hydra-headed monster and an invisible, bloodthirsty behemoth - all are part of this thrilling tale directed with gusto by Byron Haskin (Treasure Island, Long John Silver). Sail into excitement with Captain Sindbad! .com ---- Captain Sindbad is a lighthearted fantasy adventure from 1963, made five years after the better-known The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, which was the first Sinbad feature using the classic stop-motion animation effects of Ray Harryhausen. The effects for Captain Sindbad aren't anywhere near that level--whether it's an elongated arm snaking around the palace or Sindbad's showdown battle against a fearsome invisible (!) beast--but it's a fun ride anyway, punctuated by dance interludes and a score heavily influenced by Borodin. Guy Williams (Zorro, Lost in Space) plays the title character, sailing the high seas while El Kerim (Pedro Armendariz) plots against him, including stealing his betrothed, the princess Jayna (Heidi Bruhl). The wizard Golgo (Abraham Sofaer) transforms her into a bird so she can warn Sindbad, and he returns to meet the foe and hopefully organize the people of Baristad against the wrongdoers. --David Horiuchi P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Additional Features ------------------- The Warner Archive DVD-R is anamorphically enhanced for widescreen televisions (1.85:1 aspect ratio) and includes the theatrical trailer. Picture quality is not spectacular but certainly acceptable for a film of this vintage. --David Horiuchi See more ( javascript:void(0) )
