GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD ( COLUMBIA)

This is what adventure movies should be!! Sinbad finds himself on a quest for a great treasure and soon is fighting the powers of darkness and evil via prince Koura, played by Tom Baker. Sinbad is played by John Phillip Law and his woman Margiana is played by the ultra sexy Caroline Munro.
I saw this when it opened in April of 1974 and fell in love with it. The Ray Harrhausen special effects are top notch, and to think, he didn't need computers like todays "talent" does.
The monsters are brought to very vivid and real life by Harryhausen's stop motion animation technique called "Dynamation". Check it out, it's one of the finest films of it's kind ever made.
