Synopsis
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973) is a British fantasy adventure you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Gordon Hessler, it features special effects by Ray Harryhausen — and that credit is the real draw.
Sinbad and his crew intercept a golden tablet, a piece of a map pointing toward enormous power. The sorcerer Koura, played by Tom Baker years before Doctor Who, pursues them across the seas with dark magic to take it back. The crew fights a six-armed goddess statue, a giant griffin and a one-eyed centaur — each creature hand-built by Harryhausen and shot frame by frame over weeks of meticulous work.
By 1973 he had spent roughly twenty-five years perfecting the technique, and this is what that level of practice looks like. Watch The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973) online on iFILM.
