The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (Gordon Hessler, UK 1974, 105 min., 35mm)
Missed our New Year’s Day screening of The 7th Voyage of Sinbad? No matter: The second installment in Columbia’s Sinbad trilogy featuring stop-motion master Ray Harryhausen’s spectacular “Dynamotion” technique is a sequel in name only. Thankfully the winning formula—swashbuckling ship captain must voyage to distant, monster-filled land to save imperiled Arabian kingdom from the forces of darkness—remains exactly the same. This time, Barbarella’s John Phillip Law dons Sinbad’s turban and goes head-to-head with gargoyles, cyclopean centaurs, and one of Harryhausen’s most complex creations: a six-armed, scimitar-wielding idol which springs to life in inimitable Harryhausen style. Look for Robert Shaw in an uncredited cameo as an all-knowing oracle, and the lovey Hammer scream queen (and future Bond girl) Caroline Munro as the captain’s “true love”— who always seems to vanish in time for the next Sinbad picture.
