Question
Do you know this movie I saw on TV in the sixties.  An Ali Baba type fantasy film.  Color I believe.  At one point the hero used hooks to climb a very thick rope (several feet across) to the top of the castle.  At some point up there, he encountered the bad guy, who had a human heart that was alive and beating (in a box perhaps).  Either the heart or the bad guy ended up falling or being tossed out the open window to the ground far below.

Thanks for your help.

Steve


Answer
Hello Steve,

That's a 1963 film called "Captain Sindbad". It starred Guy Williams as Capt. Sindbad and Pedro Armendáriz as the evil El Kerim. Here's a link......

Expertise

Films have been my great love since the age of four when I saw my first. I am particularly knowledgeable on the films of John Wayne, Frank Sinatra (and his music) and Elvis Presley (and his music), but I will try to answer any question relating to movies from 1900 to the present day.

Experience

I am an ex-cinema manager and film publicist.
