Back To Index The 7th Voyage of Sinbad
 Barnes & Noble A thoroughly enjoyable adventure yarn that opens with a rampaging cyclops and never lets up, THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD is an enduring masterpiece in the now almost defunct swords-and-sorcery genre. In order to save his beloved (Kathryn Grant), heroic sailor Sinbad (Kerwin Mathews) travels -- with sinister magician (Torin Thatcher) in tow -- to the hazardous Isle of Colossa, where the gallant seaman battles a number of terrifying beasts with the aid of a squeaky-voiced genie (Richard Eyer). As always, Ray Harryhausens special effects creations are clever, fluid, and imaginative, with a handmade, human-generated quality that makes the low-tech Dynamation more endearing than many modern, computerized inventions. Action high points include the climactic battle between a guard-dragon and a second rampaging cyclops and the famed swordfight with a skeleton that served as inspiration for a subsequent sequence in JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS. By letting its characters use their brains as much as their brawn to get out of the numerous scrapes, THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD is a surprisingly smart fantasy that combines a jaunty Bernard Herrmann score with vivid images to make for a memorable, entertaining film.
