Yes, this 1950's production of The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad introduces the familiar creatures that we have read in the standard story books on Sinbad.
As Sinbad sets out on another adventure,this time to restore his beloved Princess Jasmin who has been shrunk by Scoura, a wizard with a magic lamp and a small boy genie; and helping the Grand Vizier to get back to his natural look after he had horrendous burns to his face. Expect to meet one-eyed Cyclops roasting human for a meal,a green-scaled dragon, a flying two-headed roc and her nestling, an cannibalistic satyr as well as fighting skeletons.
Kerwin Matthews is Sinbad and of all those who played Sinbad, he just does not cut it as he lacks the he-manship for the role of Sinbad unlike John Philip Law and Patrick Wayne.
Quite an enjoyable movie as you can see Dynamation techniques of Ray Harryhausen at work as they make the strange creatures that Sinbad met on this voyage to come alive!
