Delightful Adventures of a Storyteller

The storyteller Sinbad the Sailor (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) is gathered with other men in the harbor telling his adventure seeking the island of Daryabar, where the treasure of Alexander the Great is hidden. In his journey with his friend Abbu (George Tobias), Sinbad rescues and claims property of a drifting boat; he meets the ambitious and gorgeous Shireen (Maureen O'Hara) and falls in love for her; he is chased by the evil Emir (Anthony Quinn) that is seeking the treasure to become one of the most powerful men in the world; and he meets the dangerous Melik (Walter Slezak) that also wants the treasure."Sinbad the Sailor" is a delightful adventure, in a type of naive movie that Hollywood seems to have forgotten in the present days. However, the success of the franchise "Pirates of Caribbean" proves that this genre is still attractive for the younger generations. The athletic Douglas Fairbanks Jr. is excellent in the lead role, showing a great chemistry with the gorgeous Maureen O'Hara and Anthony Quinn and Walter Slezak are great villains. The final twist in the very end is extremely pleasant, closing with golden key this entertaining movie. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Simbad, o Marujo" ("Sinbad the Sailor")

Fairbanks, Jr's Tribute to Fairbanks, Sr.

Simply stated, Douglas Fairbank, Jr. makes this film an effective tribute to his father's much more enjoyable classic "The Thief of Bagdad". Everything from the setting, the story, and the characters mirror that classic silent film. Fairbank, Jr.'s gestures, movements, and most notably his mock laughter towards his adversaries denote his father's performance.Sadly, the film itself does not so nobly mirror "Thief". From bad dialog, poor effects, and an uninspired story we're left with an average adventure film. Only the performances of the actors and the beautiful Technicolor photography raise this film from mediocrity.Maureen O'Hara as the "princess" provides a strong, sexy female lead to this male dominant cast. Walter Slezak chews up the scenery as a slimy heavy. Even Anthony Quinn gets into the act as a competitor to Fairbanks for O'Hara and the inevitable "treasure".Fairbanks provides the best performance of the cast, one more compelling if you've seen any of his father's films. He captures his father's charm brilliantly. Unfortunately, he lacks his father's physical prowess as is evident by the abundant use of stunt doubles.I casually recommend this film to anyone who enjoys Fairbanks, Sr. films, pirate films, or to anyone who just likes looking at Maureen O'Hara--in Color! If you can find a copy of this film on video check it out.

Overly talky nautical adventure

SINBAD, THE SAILOR is a gloriously colourful Arabian adventure that, as per Hollywood tradition, casts a number of western actors in Arabic parts. As somebody who grew up on the Ray Harryhausen Sinbad films, I was hoping for something in a similar vein - or indeed of the same spirit as Sabu's THIEF OF BAGDAD.Sadly, this turns out to be nothing of the type. Instead it's a romantically-flavoured saga of tall tales and upright heroes, and of course all manner of dastardly Arabic types (including Anthony Quinn's evil emir). Douglas Fairbanks Jr. is a handsome but rather one-dimensional hero, and Maureen O'Hara his stilted love interest.The problem with SINBAD, THE SAILOR is that it offers little of the escapsim we expect from these Eastern-flavoured tales. The action scenes, while fun, are kept few and far between, and there's a great deal of chinwagging going on. Sure, there are a few plot twists and a nice climax, but it isn't much for a somewhat lengthy film. Even worse, there are no monsters or special effects of any kind. I can imagine kids watching this and getting slightly bored with it; I know I was!
