Another young boy in a boat is a friend of Jack just like the young boy Briani (Richard Eyer) in Sinbad.there are so many parts of this film that remind you of the "Seventh Voyage of Sinbad" and why not try to duplicate what the public loved 4 years earlier. Torin Thatcher is excellent again as the evil sorcerer.he just had the knack for these kinds of roles. Judy Meredith as the princess is a real beautiful gal ala Kathryn Grant from Sinbad and can scream and cry just as well. Special effects are very good and the producer was smart enough to give us another cyclops with a horn on his head early in the film.along the way Jack has to fight all types of monsters and ogres to attempt to rescue another princess (ala Sinbad) from the evil Thatcher. In Jack the Giant Killer director Nathan Juran reunites Kerwin Matthews (Jack), with the sorcerer from Sinbad, Torin Thatcher who in this film is another evil sorcerer, called Pendragon. This film is pretty that it that it is an obvious attempt by the producers to try and recreate "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad".When Sindbad was released in 1958 it hardly created a stir, then all of a sudden it became a monster box office hit.one of those films that pulls a big surprise.
