The 7th Voyage of Sinbad is arguably Ray HarryHausen finest achievement, it is a fantastic family treat from start to finish. Nathan Juran's direction is realised with dazzling spectacle, that is further advantaged by beautiful cinematography(particularly of Baghdad and Carlossa) and very convincing effects. I absolutely loved the clever designs of the monsters, such as the Cyclops and the Dragon, both of which are quite scary, the two-headed bird, and my favourite the warrior skeleton. Bernard Hermann's magnificently rousing score gives some weight to the really exciting scenes, and there are so many of them I can't count. The always likable Kerwin Matthews is very handsome and charming as Sinbad, even if he isn't the typical Sinbad from the other films or the stories. Kathryn Grant is beautiful beyond words as Princess Parissa, and the evil magician Sokurah is marvellously played by Indian actor Torin Thatcher. Richard Eyer is very sweet as the genie, though my only minor complaint of this brilliant movie, is that the genie's electrified voice got a little distracting. But overall, it is a hugely enjoyable film, with a 10/10. Bethany Cox.
