The 7th Voyage of Sinbad – A Review
by Caroline Furlong
The 1958 film The 7th Voyage of Sinbad starred Kerwin Mathews as Sinbad the Sailor, one of the heroes of One Thousand and One Nights, the tales reportedly made famous by Scheherazade. The film begins at night, with Sinbad guiding his vessel through fog in search of land to replenish the vessel’s supplies. Although his men are certain they are lost and will never find land, Sinbad orders them to take a sounding.
When the sounding indicates that they are coming up on an island, to be confirmed by a call from the crow’s nest, the tension eases immediately. Leaving his aide Harufa to guide the ship closer and drop anchor, Sinbad goes below deck to talk to his fiancée. Princess Parisa of Chandra is eager to arrive at Baghdad where she and Sinbad will wed to secure peace between the two kingdoms, though she understands why they must stop to gather supplies.
