Scenes from CAPTAIN SINDBAD (1963)
The Hydra from this movie is difficult to gauge. It's not really believable and yet it's so elaborate and cool looking that it doesn't really matter if it doesn't look real. The entire movie, directed by Byron Haskin, who directed many classics, including THE WAR OF THE WORLD (1953), was used to working with special effects and the entire movie is filled with wildly erratic effects. The entire German - US production, a hit, is clearly shot in movie sets. The film has a fake studio-bound kitschy look and yet it's oddly visually interesting. This scene is definitely the highlight of the movie...well, after that crawling arm! 😂
