Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Golden Voyage of Sinbad
THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD is a british movie directed by Gordon Hessler in 1974. Special effects by Ray Harryhausen.

Sinbad and his crew are looking for the last part of a talisman which will give to the one able to find it eternal youth, wealthiness and power. They'll have to brave storms, mean cannibals and the magical tricks of Koura before arriving at Lemuria Island.

Great movie for your children.
