Movie review - "3 Worlds of Gulliver" (1960) **1/2

 This one doesn't seem to get the love of other Harryhausens. I get why - it doesn't have the sense of adventure. Kerwin Matthew' dullness is more annoying here than for Sinbad. 

The film includes a lot of satire from the original with its jaundiced takes on rulers and politics. People have criticised this has been too differnt from Swift. I think the problem is it was too close to it.

Enjoyable effects. Dull support cast - Lee Patterson as some other foreign dignitary. Gulliver doesn't seem very interested in his girlfriend.
