The Golden Voyage of Sinbad is a 1973 fantasy adventure film directed by Gordon Hessler, featuring stop-motion effects by Ray Harryhausen.

The film stars John Phillip Law, Tom Baker, Takis Emmanuel, and Caroline Munro.

The film follows the story of Captain Sinbad (Law) as he embarks on a dangerous quest to find the Fountain of Destiny after discovering a magical golden amulet.

The crew wants to throw the object overboard, but when Sinbad, the captain, examines it, he sees a vision of a mysterious woman with an eye tattooed on the palm of her right hand.

Sinbad narrowly escapes into the city and meets the Grand Vizier of Marabia, who has been ruling as regent since the sultan's death, as there was no heir.

He tells Sinbad of a legend: the three pieces are the key to finding the fabled Fountain of Destiny on the lost continent of Lemuria.

On their journey, Sinbad and his crew face numerous dangers, including the wooden siren figurehead of their ship, which Koura animates with magic to steal the map, allowing him to locate Lemuria.

Producer Charles Schneer explained that he and Ray Harryhausen decided to make another Sinbad movie because they "felt it was time to return to the Arabian Nights," as no one else was exploring this material, and they had previously experienced great success with it in the late 1950s.

Schneer believed there was a new audience ready for such a film and noted that other producers likely avoided this genre because they did not know how to make it economically viable.

[5] Harryhausen created a dozen master sketches that Schneer described as "intriguing, interesting, and characteristic of the period."

[6]Caroline Munro was cast in the female lead role because, as Schneer explained, "We wanted her to project that sex appeal, because that was what was happening at the time in the film business.

"[6] Schneer and Harryhausen decided to base their production in Spain, specifically in Madrid and on the island of Majorca, to take advantage of the region's rugged scenery.

At one point, they considered filming some scenes at the famous Alhambra palace in Granada, but the rental fees demanded by the local authorities were too high.

[6] On 25 February 2018, filmmaker John Walsh, a trustee of the Ray and Diana Harryhausen Foundation, gave a talk at the historic Regent Street Cinema in London during a special 45th anniversary screening of a restored version of The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, alongside Caroline Munro.

[14] Marvel Comics published a two-issue adaptation of The Golden Voyage of Sinbad in Worlds Unknown #7–8 (June & August 1974).

[15] Titled The Golden Voyage of Sinbad: Land of the Lost, it was scripted by Len Wein, penciled by George Tuska, and inked by Vince Colletta.
