Captain Sindbad - 1963 - 5/10

When I watched during its theatrical run, I remember enjoying the sword fights and exoticness.
Guy Madison was, after all, Zorro, and knew how to wield a blade!
I also remember, even as a kid I found much of this pretty corny.
Sindbad returns home to find an evil usurper on the throne, with designs on the princess.
Our hero and his hearties set forth to restore the kingdom!
Very dated now, with poor special effects – although the heart and giant hand are memorable.
Matinee fare all the way; for those who still tend their garden of childhood.
