The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad (1958) starring Kerwin Mathews, Kathryn Grant, Torin Thatcher. Prince Sinbad of Bagdad (Mathews) must sail to the island of Colossa to save the princess Parisa (Grant) from an evil spell. On the island are exotic monsters, including a giant Cyclops which has a taste for human flesh. Sinbad is forced to ask for help from an unscrupulous magician (Thatcher) who betrays him at the first opportunity. The acting is awful, the script is silly, and the special effects are primitive in this fantasy epic. The stop-motion animation of Ray Harryhausen was state-of-the-art at the time, and I'm sure many children would be entertained (as I was, as a child) by this movie. To it's credit, English subtitles are available, as well as closed captions. Grade: B
