Sinbad the Sailor (Kerwin Mathews) forges an uneasy alliance with a crafty magician (Torin Thatcher) to sail to a dangerous island where Sinbad can reverse the spell that has left his fiancée (Kathryn Grant) only a few inches tall and the magician, not-so-coincidentally, can recover the magic lamp he covets.  No doubt a delight for single-minded stop-motion animation fans (Ray Harryhausen shows us a giant cyclops, a snake woman, a dragon, and more), the clunky acting and dialogue are likely to turn away everyone else -- along with a weak story that is ultimately built around a lamp that seems hardly worth the effort, in spite of the boy genie it contains.
