Sail with meAn old and aging Sinbad who has retired from the adventure way of life tells his tails to a group of other old and dying men. The men are sick of hearing the same old seven tales of Sinbad that seem to get more ambitious with each telling...so Sinbad tells them a less told tale of his adventures."All the seven voyages are magnified.""Why not astonish? Sinbad is an astonishing sailor!"Richard Wallace, director of The Young in Heart, The Fallen Sparrow, Tycoon, Framed, Adventure in Baltimore, A Kiss for Corliss, The Road to Reno, and Captain Caution, delivers Sinbad, The Sailor. The storyline for this picture has a classic Sinbad feel to it with awesome settings and costumes, pretty girls, and unearthly adventures. The acting is very solid and the cast includes Douglas Fairbanks, Maureen O'Hara, Anthony Quinn, Jane Greer, and George Tobias."The sun is my gold."I recently came across this on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and had to DVR it as a huge Sinbad fan. This was very well done and I enjoyed the feel and pace of the film. This was far from the best Sinbad picture, but it was worth a viewing."It's a fine day for the coffin makers."Grade: C+

An epic, but a bit wordy.

Lavish, well mounted swashbuckler, but I think I still prefer the silly and admittedly more juvenile Ray Harryhausen Sinbad films. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. channels his father and the always great Maureen O'Hara helps the film out a lot too. Entertaining, though mostly forgettable.

gr8 cast bring this RKO swashbuckler to life

Sinbad The Sailor is a great swashbuckler of yesteryear with great performances, a suitably corny plot, contrived romance, funny humor, and plenty of action to be expected from any film of its kind. It's nothing deep to say the least, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun if you're someone who loves watching adventure films of yesteryear. This is a very underrated gem that desperately needs more love and attention than it is currently receiving.

One of my favorite films! Terrific swashbuckler! Douglas Fairbanks jr. , Maureen O'Hara , Anthony Quinn (need I say more)

Intelligent, Colorful, Consistently-Interesting Adventure--That Eighth Voyage of Sinbad!!

Old Hollywood Arabian Night entertainment; deliciously quasi-oriental and pantomimically ridiculous. My top score though goes to how mesmerizingly alluring Maureen O'Hara looks..., and moves, and speaks: how old Hollywood deports glamour generally.

Maureen O'Hara is gorgerous in this movie..

Entertaining adventure movie.

Sinbad the Sailor is a film that is fun to watch. It also has great wit and dialogue. The set design is visually stunning as well. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Maureen O'Hara are well cast and give excellent performances. The screenplay is well written and amusing. Richard Wallace did a fantastic job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the romance. Sinbad the Sailor is a must see.

a technicolor fantasy spectacle with douglas fairbanks jr giving his usual energetic performance in the title role. the sets and costumes here are slightly ridiculous and maureen o'hara doesn't look remotely like a middle eastern princess but it's all in good fun and walter slezak is highly entertaining as the villainous jamal. altho the acting is somewhat better here i miss harryhausen's amazing claymation creatures from the 70's

Cool old adventure movie, albeit a bit slow at times.

....watching with daughter......

costumes are swell, nice poetry in some of the lines, too corny and annoying, but overall watched all the way through. Mr. Smiley show.
