Editorial Review: Description: Mythical monsters and noble knights come to colorful life in this enchanting and engaging adventure. Filled with "special effects sure to amuse and horrify" (LA Herald-Examiner), The Magic Sword is an "all-out children's fairy tale" (Motion Picture Herald) and a "rousing good time" (The Film Daily)! When the evil sorcerer Lodac (Basil Rathbone) kidnaps the beautiful Princess Helene (Anne Helm), the brave young George (Gary Lockwood) makes it his mission to save her and earn her royal hand in marriage. But George must first survive the seven curses that plague the way to Lodac's castle. Though he has a speedy horse, invincible armor and a magic sword, will George's weapons and resolve be enough to defeat Lodac's ghastly ghouls and deadly demons?!? Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Hey, there's a chimp in here!Two and a half stars. Sometimes, one's fondness for a pet can be taken to extremes. Case in point, the wicked sorcerer Lodac who, to feed his dragon, makes a habit of kidnapping princesses. If they aren't ransomed within seven days' time, it's chow time for the dragon. THE MAGIC SWORD checks off on many of the traditional fairy tale tropes. When fair Princess Helene is taken by Lodac, the king vows that whosoever rescues her shall have her hand in marriage and half the kingdom, as well. ... Read More Rating: - Not bad, but not the best of the genre of that timeThe Magic Sword is pretty much a standard medieval fantasy story that has all the ingredients necessary for such a movie. A young hero with humble beginnings, a princess searching for love, an evil sorcerer (with a dragon that has a sweet tooth for princesses), monsters, knights, kings and all that lot. The story is as solid as any fairy tale, but the execution is a bit on the lacking side. In other words recite the movie to your kids at bedtime and it all seems great, but this production doesn't live ...

As a movie buff and fan of classic action/sdventure/fantasy films I was extremely let down by this film. Having enjoyedwatching Basil Rathbone in such films as "The Mark of Zorrow" and "The Adventures of Robin Hood" I was hoping for much more. This film plays as nothing more than a poorly made Saturday morning childrens show. The special effects are ridiculous and so poorly done it's obvious that this film doesn't even rate as a B-movie. If you ... Read More Rating:  - A childhood favorite of mine!I first saw this movie as a child in B&W on Saturday afternoon matinee on channel 9 (WGN - Chicago). This was my first medieval movie I had ever seen and due to it I am still a science fiction & fantasy fan. About twenty years later I saw a color version on television. And here I am fifteen years later buying it as a keepsake/memory. This MGM version blew the previous two veiwings away. The picture, color and sound quality was superb. I am extremely happy with my purchase of this item. Rating: - Enjoyable Medieval Quest FilmEvil sorcerer Lodac (Basil Rathbone) takes his revenge on the King by abducting Princess Helene (Anne Helm) to feed her to a dragon in a week. Ambitious courtier Sir Branton (Liam Sullivan) proposes to go alone to rescue her. The obscure, but noble, protagonist, Sir George (Gary Lockwood), uses the gifts of his good-witch foster mother, Sibyl (Estelle Winwood), to re-animate six knights to go after the Princess, his vision-love. Lodac guards his castle with seven curses, including the double-headed dragon. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
