The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958)
Director: Nathan H. Juran
Landis says: "That's for me. The 7th Voyage of Sinbad is the reason I'm a filmmaker. I saw that when I was 7 and it charmed me and enthralled me. I went home and asked my mother, 'Who does that, who makes the movie?' And she answered, 'The director.' So from the time I was 8 years old I knew what I wanted to be. That Cyclops is one of the great fantasy creatures. It just has such life and it moves so beautifully. That movie has a fabulous sense of fantasy. These things were moved one frame at a time by Ray Harryhausen's hands."
P.S. Any reader of the Pond knows this is one of my favorite movies.
