CAST— Kerwin Mathews, Kathryn
Grant (Crosby), Richard Eyer, Torin Thatcher

Ridiculous telling of the Sinbad Legend,
this time fleshed out with special effects by the master, Ray Harryhausen.
Sinbad and his band of sailors run afoul of a malevolent magician with a
magical lamp on his mind. He loses the lamp when Sinbad rescues him from a killer
Cyclops; he then journeys to Baghdad with the sailors, all the while yearning
for the lamp. To coerce Sinbad into returning to the Cyclops-infested island
Mr. Magician shrinks Sinbad’s fiancée down to Barbie’s size and claims that the
only remedy lies on the island. From then on it’s all sailing, monsters, and
mayhem, Harryhausen style, only minus the fun. Maybe you had to be there.
Deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the United
