Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger is a 1977 fantasy film, the third and final Sinbad film that Ray Harryhausen made for Columbia (the others being The 7th Voyage of Sinbad and The Golden Voyage of Sinbad) and the penultimate movie in which Harryhausen would use the stop-motion technique he had pioneered since the late 1940s. The movie was directed by Sam Wanamaker and cost 7 million dollars to make, making it the costliest of the Sinbad series. The live action was filmed in Spain, Malta, and Jordan (at the tombs of ancient Petra) between June and October of 1975, with Harryhausen's stop-motion animation work lasting from October 1975 up to March 1977. Sinbad (Patrick Wayne), sailor and Prince of Baghdad, seeks permission from Prince Kassim to marry his sister Princess Farah (Jane Seymour). A spell is placed on Kassim by their evil stepmother Zenobia (Margaret Whiting) turning him into a baboon (one of Harryhausen's stop-motion creations) just as he was going to be crowned caliph. Sinbad sets off with Princess Farah to find an alchemist named Melanthius (Patrick Troughton), who knows where to discover a cure to break the evil spell. Sinbad and his crew eventually find Melanthius and
