Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Sinbad the Sailor is a 1947 Technicolor fantasy-swashbuckler film from RKO, directed by Richard Wallace, and starring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Maureen O'Hara, Anthony Quinn, and Walter Slezak. It tells the tale of the "eighth" voyage of Sinbad the Sailor, wherein he discovers the lost treasure of Alexander the Great.The film is notable for its lavish production values, including detailed paintings and models, and for its florid pseudo-Arabian dialogue. Fairbanks makes an over the top and highly acrobatic Sinbad and he looks very fine in his chest-baring shirts and poofy pants. Maureen O'Hara's Shireen is a fine addition to her gallery of haughty princesses and sword-wielding pirates, while Anthony Quinn's Emir Maffi of Daibul is a coldly menacing butcher. George Tobias's Abbu and Walter Slezak's Melik are quirkily amusing. The lush Romantic Hollywood-Arabian score is by Roy Webb.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })SynopsisAdvertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })RKO had to scuttle its plan to present this film as a 1946 Christmas-season attraction when a strike at the Technicolor processing plant delayed the making of prints. Needing a black-and-white movie for its 1946 yuletide schedule, RKO chose a film destined to become a holiday perennial: Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life.The Hedda Hopper Show — This Is Hollywood broadcast a 30-minute radio adaptation of the movie on March 29, 1947 with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Maureen O'Hara reprising their film roles.Not to be confused with this most remarkable, extraordinary fellow. | |

Sinbad then goes on to tell the tale of his latest voyage to Daryabar, and at the end of the movie produces some of the treasures he retrieved from the island, proving that he was indeed telling the truth. | |

Purple Prose: Nearly all the characters are prone to bursts of flowery Arabesque eloquence ("If I could pry Daryabar's secret from Prince Ahmed, I'd hold the Key of Keys!") — which leads to occasional, possibly intentional bathos when they return to Earth ("I could make Sheba look like a frump"). | |
