For an early sixties fantasy adventure flick starring Sinbad, we were more used to Nathan Juran than to Byron Haskin, more known for his science fiction movies such as WAR OF THE WORLDS, CONQUEST OF SPACE, FROM EARTH TO THE MOON; but he was en eclectic film director, he offered us everything except comedies or musicals. I prefer that anyway. This one is pretty good, agreeable, in the mood of the fifties Universal studios yarns for such kind of films. I would have expected some Ray Harryhausen work here, but maybe the budget was not big enough. Anyway, it proves that Byron Haskin, was a good professional film maker.
