Whenever I think of Sinbad, I always think of creatures, more creatures and then Sinbad and his sword. This movie has some interesting creatures but the whole story revolves around people. A prince is changed into a baboon just before he is crowned as the new ruler. Magic from a witch by the name of Zenobia is the culprit. Sinbad loves the sister of the prince and vows to seek out Melanthius a wise man played wonderfully by Patrick Troughton. Melanthius does not process any special powers except that of knowledge. Is knowledge enough to overcome the evil potions of Zenobia? The baboon, oops, I mean the prince falls in love with Melanthius's daughter Farah, played by Jane Seymour. So the beauty of Farah is used to the advantage of the travelers as a large Trog also falls for Farah. A fair outing for a Sinbad feature, but the real gems of the film are Troughton and Seymour, and of course some creatures to fight.
