Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - entertainment.msn.com - nytimes.com - rottentomatoes.com - moria.co.nz - theseventhvoyage.com - wikipedia.org: «The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, made in 1974 and starring John Phillip Law as Sinbad, is considered by many fans to be one of the best Sinbad films of all time. Tom Baker's performance as the evil wizard Koura was a key factor in his being cast on Doctor Who. It includes a robust score by composer Miklós Rózsa and is noted for the stop-motion effects by Ray Harryhausen.

The fountain itself is magical, and any bearer of the fountain will receive youth, a shield of darkness and a crown of untold riches. Sinbad agrees to help the Vizier find the fountain.
