	Movies - The Golden Voyage of Sinbad

The Golden Voyage of Sinbad made in 1974 and starring John Phillip Law is considered by many fans to be one of the best Sinbad films of all time. Tom Baker's performance as the wizard Koura was a key factor in his being cast on Doctor Who. It includes a legendary score by the composer Miklós Rózsa and is noted for the stop-motion effects by Ray Harryhausen.

Sinbad comes across a golden tablet,which turns out to be a third of a puzzle. The Vizier of Morabia and the sorcerer Koura have the other two pieces. There is a legend that the puzzle will lead the owner to the Fountain of Destiny where the bearer will receive youth, a shield of darkness and a crown of untold riches. Koura uses black magic to halt Sinbad's progress as he helps the Vizier find the fountain. Sinbad fights the Centaur, Kali, and his own ship's wooden mascot on his journey. Koura gets the youth and and the shield turns him invisible, but Sinbad kills him. The Vizier gets the crown and becomes king.
