John Phillip Law played some varied and memorable roles, but I feel like the common thread is that the casting director’s charge was to find someone more than a little oddl but undeniably sexy. #SeventhVoyageOfSinbad #tcmparty
It’s a testament to Harryhausen’s genius that you feel regret for the deaths of both the cyclops and the dragon. Plus, you just want to see more of the exquisite animation. #SeventhVoyageOfSinbad #tcmparty
Harryhausen also did neat stuff with smoke turning into human figures—the genie of #SeventhVoyageOfSinbad, and the god Hermes in “Jason and the Argonauts.” #tcmparty
Especially in 1958, you just didn’t see these exotic locations in Hollywood films. #SeventhVoyageOfSinbad #tcmparty
I don’t think we remark on it because Harryhausen’s animation is the main topic, but #SeventhVoyageOfSinbad and the other Harryhausen / Schneer films benefitted greatly from excellent location scouting. The Alhambra in Granada, Spain is used for the Sultan’s palace, for example. #tcmparty
The Cyclops has more life and personality than almost any of Harryhausen’s many impressive creations. The facial expressions, the lips, the tongue, its skin texture and tone—they’re outstanding. #SeventhVoyageOfSinbad #tcmparty
Voyages One Through Six were…not entirely successful. #SeventhVoyageOfSinbad #tcmparty
