The 7th Voyage of Sinbad is a stunningly beautiful movie that I can't really talk about without acknowledging that, y'know, it
is an Arabian Nights adaptation made by a bunch of white people in 1958. There are definitely some brownface/exoticism problems. Though, that said, it was less racist than I expected; hell, it's less racist than Aladdin.
If you can get past the cultural appropriation, it's a stunning film. The production design is gorgeous, but of course the real star of the show is Ray Harryhausen. The stop-motion creature effects are quite simply some of the best ever committed to film.
It's a fun, zippy adventure movie and, above all, it's really impressive to look at.
I picked it up in the
Ray Harryhausen: The Ultimate Collection Blu-Ray set a few months back, after watching The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms on Svengoolie and deciding I could use more Harryhausen in my life. The box set is Australian but the discs are region-free. Unfortunately there's no similar set available in the US; all the American Harryhausen sets I've seen have been some combination of more expensive, fewer films, and/or available on DVD but not Blu-Ray. It's a shame this stuff isn't easier to get.
That said, 7th Voyage appears to be streaming free with ads on
Crackle and
Plex.
