If you forgive the fact the film is perhaps too short, this is a very charming, underrated and delightful film. What really made the movie were the visuals. They were absolutely phenomenal, and looked as though the effects co coordinator had gone to extreme lengths to make the whole production presentable. As far as the look of the film goes, it looks amazing, with the lavish costumes, stunning cinematography and colourful sets. True it isn't as high a budget as Sinbad, but it still looked great. I will admit I am still scared of the witches, god they are so freaky. Aside from the visuals, other things made this film a delight to watch. The story is well told and is true in style to the story while putting its own spin on it. The script is nicely constructed too, and the music is also outstanding. The performances were very good indeed. Kerwin Matthews is a very likable lead, and Judi Meredith makes for a stunning Princess Elaine. Pendragon was a great almost scary villain and Torin Thatcher(back with Matthews after the wonderful 7th Voyage of Sinbad) played him marvellously. All in all, a delightful film and worth the look. Shame it is isn't shown on TV much, and I can't find it anywhere. That is a shame really, because it is a good movie. 9/10 Bethany Cox
