    Whilst Sinbad (Kerwin Mathews) is on his way to Baghdad, transporting the Princess Parisa (Kathryn Grant), who is to become his bride and secure peace between her kingdom and his, the ship encounters the isle of Colossa. Sinbad and his men are attacked by a gigantic, bestial one-eyed Cyclops, and are saved only when the mysterious magician Sokurah (Torin Thatcher) appears and uses a magic lamp to protect Sinbad's men. But in the process of escaping harm, Sokurah loses the lamp to the Cyclops. He desperately wants to retrieve it and tries to persuade Sinbad to put about and return to Colossa – but the captain won't jeopardize the safety of the princess or the success of his mission, and the Caliph of Baghdad (Alec Mango) feels the same way, even after Sokurah amazes the court by conjuring up a snake-woman. It is only when the princess is shrunk by an evil spell, the breaking of which requires the shell from the egg of the giant Roc – which resides on Colossa – that Sokurah can get his expedition mounted, with Sinbad in command. With a crew made up of a handful of his bravest men and some of the most desperate convicts in the Caliph's prison, he has to contend with potential mutiny at every turn, and the men are driven almost to madness before they even reach Colossa. Once there, they find terrors as great as the Cyclops and the treachery of the magician, but Parisa – in her tiny state – also discovers the beautiful world inside the lamp, and the lonely boy genie (Richard Eyer) who inhabits it. They strike the bargain that, when Sinbad's bravery is added to the equation, will bring their quest to an end. If, that is, they can all survive the dangers that Sokurah puts in their path.

    In the mid-fifties, Ray Harryhausen was recognized as one of the best special effects craftsmen in Hollywood, amazing filmgoers with his startling stop-motion effects in sci-fi thrillers like The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (1953). It wasn't until 1958 that he was able to bring to the screen a personal project he had been shopping around to the studios for years - The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. Movies based on the Arabian Nights and other exotic fairy tales were out of vogue at the time but producer Charles H. Schneer believed in the project and Harryhausen's vision. After all, he had already enjoyed three highly successful collaborations with the special effects wizard on It Came From Beneath the Sea (1955), Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956), and 5 Million Years to Earth (1957).

    The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958)

    For The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, key members of the cast and crew, including Kerwin Matthews (still considered the most dashing of all the screen 'Sinbads') were flown to Spain where some of the most difficult sequences were filmed. Among these are the encounter with the giant Cyclops who likes to roast men on a spit over a fire and the skeleton swordfight. The latter scene required Matthews to train with Olympic fencing master, Enzo Musomeci-Greco, choreographing the sword parries and thrusts which he memorized and repeated on film with the appropriate reactions to his non-existent foe. Months later, the animated skeleton warrior would be inserted into this sequence by Harryhausen, matching Matthews blow for blow with it's sword.

    Technical challenges aside, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad also had its share of production problems like a near boating accident in the harbor of Barcelona, a load of rented equipment that was lost at sea, or a virus that made several people violently ill. Communication breakdowns between the English speaking and Spanish crew members were also routine. In one instance, Harryhausen, who spoke little Spanish, was filming the Fountain of Destiny scene and called for more mist, using the expression "mucho smoko!" He was later informed that his bastardized Spanish translated as "something to do with picking your nose."

    Richard Eyer, who plays the boy genie in The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, recalled his experiences on the film for Tom Weaver's book, Science Fiction and Fantasy Film Flashbacks: "The shots of the genie doing the cartwheels and all that were done in Spain with a double; even the final scene where it's over the shoulder of the genie as he's working as a cabin boy on Sinbad's ship, that's not me, that's some Spanish kid. When they were all through in Spain, they filmed just me for about a week - I filmed all my scenes here (Los Angeles) on a set in a studio. So I felt cheated that I didn't get to go to Spain."

    When The 7th Voyage of Sinbad was released theatrically, it proved to be one of the top grossing films of 1958 and was considered a great achievement in fantasy filmmaking. Children lucky enough to have seen the film at theatres will never forget the stirring Bernard Herrmann music score, Kerwin Matthews' swashbuckling Sinbad, or Harryhausen's fantastic creations from the giant roc with the two-headed chick to the fire-breathing dragon.

    “The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad” is a classic tale taken from “1001 Arabian Nights” and it is brought to life in this film like never before or since. It is a colorful adventure that takes you to exotic and colorful Bagdad, combining the Arabian culture with black magic and ultimately the breathtaking mythical creatures that challenge Sinbad and his men. Considering the age of the film and the fact that this was Ray Harryhausen’s first use of his stop-motion techniques in a color movie, the effects are still spectacular. The charm the film creates and the masterful presentation of the creatures is still a showstopper after more than 40 years. Harryhausen’s genius is evident in every single frame that he painstakingly animated and arranged. Spectacular camera angles and dramatic editing further enhance the effect and help to bring these creatures to life, making this film a thrilling joyride from the first to the last minute.
    Excerpt from Guido Henkel's DVD Review
    The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958)

    Captain Sinbad must save a miniature princess and the peace between two kingdoms in this monumental adventure film from producer Charles Schneer and director Nathan Juran. Sinbad must get the shell of the legendary Roc's egg on Colossa Island as an ingredient for evil magician Sokurah's potion that will bring the princess back to size. Along the way, we are treated to glimpses of cyclops, a dragon, a fighting skeleton, a snake woman, and some of the greatest stop-motion animation techniques to grace the screen. Ray Harryhausen does a splendid job with his animation and makes this film a true joy to watch. The acting is very good overall; Kerwin Matthews plays a very agile and affable Sinbad, Richard Eyer(from The Invisible Boy) plays a sad genie, and Torin Thatcher is superb as the villainous magician bent on supreme power. A magical voyage indeed!
