This was Ray Harryhausen’s first full colour fantasy movie, featuring Arabian Nights hero Sinbad leading an adventurous, incident-filled mission to the monster-filled island of Colossa!
Directed by Nathan Juran, produced by Charles H. Schneer, starring Kerwin Mathews, Torin Thatcher and Kathryn Grant, with a rousing score by Bernard Herrmann, the film became a sleeper hit and would go on to spawn two Sinbad sequels by Harryhausen, who filled each yarn with a memorable mix of stop-motion creatures.
Here are some of the many posters produced for THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD over the years…

These are a wonderful assemblage all in one gallery, Ken—thanks! I forwarded the email to several in my genre-loving inner circle who don’t frequent FB.

A couple of the Italian posters look quite scary, as if they were for a brooding peplum or something!
