Flat ish Sinbad adventure. Patrick Wayne looks the part but isn't that memorable as Sinbad; mind you, neither was John Phillip Law or Kerwin Matthews. Jane Seymour is utterly perfect as a princess who goes on the journey; she has a nude swim and flashes some bare back which was a bit racy. Tyrone Power's daughter plays another princess who goes along. But it's not terribly feminist both women spend most of their time being scared and/or serving food.
The story involves a quest but there was a lot of set up and talk and it wasn't that gripping. The stakes felt low. I mean, they were high on paper but watching it... I just didn't care. Maybe I saw it in a bad mood.
Some decent effects and action sequences. The end is set in the Arctic, which was at least ifferent. Patrick Troughton has a high old time as does Margaret Whiting as the villain.
