Douglas Fairbanks is obviously having a good time in this kiddie matinee feature. It's difficult to take seriously,what with Fairbanks' exaggerated overacting, the fake fighting, the even more fake Arabian settings, but it sure is a lot of fun. There is a plot in there somewhere, a search for treasure on a forgotten island and a romantic feud between Sinbad and the evil Emir Anthony Quinn. Don't worry it all turns out alright in this, the eighth voyage of Sinbad.
