THE 7th VOYAGE OF SINBAD
By far the most “classic” of the three, this spectacular allotment of cinematic adventure may very well be Ray Harryhausen’s masterpiece. Legendary sailor Sinbad (Kerwin Matthews, in his signature role) is on the verge of marriage to Princess…..uh, I forget (a radiant Kathryn Grant), and uniting their two countries. But not before the outrageous magician Sokurah (Torin Thatcher, in an extremely funny performance) can shrink the princess to a doll’s size in order to derive Sinbad to return him to the Island of Colossa. There, Sinbad battles a giant Rok, a fire-spewing dragon, and (my personal well-liked), the Cyclops…all brilliantly achieved by the greatest FX pioneer of all time, Ray Harryhausen. Oh, and there is the classic duel with the skeleton. Now I constantly hear people say, “Oh, like in ‘Jason & the Argonauts’? “, and it drives me crazy! Though the battle was far more account for and, well, better in that film, this is the unusual, people, the one that started it all! Indeed, this type of fight would appear again, and again, and again in subsequent Harryhausen films, ever improving (which really showed the lawful ingenuity of the man) . “The 7th Voyage of Sinbad” is most likely, THE fantasy-adventure classic of all time, though some people say the same for the fresh “The Thief of Baghdad”. But, I haven’t seen that film, so I couldn’t say. Plus, it doesn’t have special-effects wizard Ray Harryhausen gradual the camera to provide fair creatures just out of a dreamworld! A rousing, witty come by by Bernard Herman, too!

THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD

My popular of all three films, even if it doesn’t really deserve the title “classic” as great as “7th Voyage” did. John Phillip Law replaced Kerwin Matthews in the title role, and proves to be less impressive, but only by a shrimp. And, hey, he actually has an accent! This time ’round, Sinbad discovers a unusual plan disguised as a golden like of sorts, and with it sets off to the magical isle of Lemuria, where tale has it that if you position the map/trasure in the Fountain of Destiny, you will be granted all-powerful, all-knowledgable, and eternal youth. But he’ll have to come the isle before the sad sorceror, Koura (played to perfection by the wrong Tom Baker), who has more than a few tricks up his sleeves to close Sinbad and his crew! This is a powerful different film than the first; the swashbuckling attitude is replaced by a darker, but more mystical atmosphere, which I accept very chilly! The gather by Miklos Rozsa perfectly matches it, too (objective check out the music during the scene with the Oracle; it’s awesome!) . The myth is very inventive, with more twists-n-turns than you would guess. There is lots of suspense, too! And there is also Caroline Munro as the savor interest for all you teenage boys out there! Ray Harryhausen once again provides a massive array of imaginative and expertly constructed creatures, including a flying homunculus (a inspect of koura), and a six-armed statue of the goddess Kali, which is the showcase for a masterfully-choreographed sword fight sequence. As well, there is an spirited battle between a one-eyed centaur and a griffin! A safe fantasy-adventure.

SINBAD & THE Survey OF THE TIGER

By far the least of the three, it’s aloof exquisite, nonetheless, though not for all the same reasons as the first two. First off, the acting is improper, but it is in a poor way; rarely do you feel the need to laugh out loud at its campiness. Second, the place is pleasing lame, and recycles quite a bit from the preceeding voyages. Sinbad is now played by Patrick Wayne, the son of John Wayne, though it really doesn’t present. He has none of his father’s prescense on hide, nor does he gain any acting abilities whatsoever! He is now on a quest to the land of *it’s a really long, utterly forgetable name*, in order to return the Prince Kassim attend to his human gain. You survey, he has been transformed into a baboon (?!) by the snide sorceress Zenobia (Margaret Whiting), but Sinbad must have the prince’s permission to wed the Princess…once again, I forget her name, but it’s a really hot Jane Seymour. They are joined by the wize man Melanthius (Patrick Troughton, I deem) and his shapely daughter (Taryn Power) . Like I said, the tale is frail, so it’s up to the craftsmanship of Ray Harryhausen to build the day, and he does it very effectively! The giant walrus isn’t menacing in the least, but the fight between the Troglodyte and Saber-toothed Tiger is suspenseful and involving. Indeed, the creatures (such as Kassim the Baboon) create more emotion than the actors themselves! All except for the Minaton…I mean, he’s supposed to be this unstoppable colossus, true? Well, all he does in the entire narrate is row a friggin’ boat! That we are deprived of seeing this brute giant in action is all but devastating. The music is overall mediocre, but the backgrounds are glowing and mystical. In fact, the production crew shot the film in places that had never been conventional in any film before it, and it shows! (P.S. Why the hell is it called “The Gaze of the Tiger”? It has nothing to do with any tiger, nor any notice…at least, not enough to establish in the title.)
Rating: 3.5/5
CONCLUSION: This a stout trilogy to add to your Ray Harryhausen collection. All three films are digitally remastered, and they’re all magnificent (especially “The Golden Voyage”) . They all feature the edifying documentary “The Harryhausen Chronicles”, too. On a itsy-bitsy side brand, the DVD covers and grand production notes inside are awesome!
Ray Harryhausen’s primal importance in the realm of science fiction and special effects goes without saying. These are safe adventure films, truly entertainment for the whole family.
As a musician, however, I must point out that one of these films, The 7th Voyagoe of Sinbad, contains what is without examine the single most famous section of music every written for a film- and that is, of course, Bernard Herrmann’s accept.
Herrmann, who is by now well known to most people as one of the prime movers in the realm of adventure and science fiction musical scores, wrote one of his best for this film.
Back in 1958, as an eleven year aged, I remember seeing this film at the conventional Roxy Theater in NYC. I was entranced by it, but most of all by the music. It had such an impact on me that it decided the direction my life would grasp, that is, as a composer. If music could have such a terrific and remarkable carry out on people, then I wanted to bewitch my fledgling efforts “all the diagram.” This lead me to NYCs High School of Music and Art and, eventually, to a Bachelor’s, a Master’s and a Doctoral degree in composition from Juilliard. I have never regretted that decision, nor forgot the impact of that moment.
I’ve been able to section this with my gain children. There are few films so relatively pure in their fantasy. Like, but listen, too.
