The Magic Sword *** (1962, Basil Rathbone, Estelle Winwood, Gary Lockwood, Anne Helm) – Classic Movie Review 12,445
Producer/ director Bert I Gordon’s enjoyable enough 1962 American adventure fantasy film The Magic Sword is loosely based on the medieval legend of Saint George and the Dragon, and stars Basil Rathbone, Estelle Winwood, Gary […]
Dragonslayer **** (1981, Peter MacNicol, Caitlin Clarke, Ralph Richardson) – Classic Movie Review 8746
It’s the powers of good, represented by sorcerer’s apprentice Galen (Peter MacNicol), against one of the screen’s most impressive dragons, Vermithrax Pejorative, in the dark ages of the sixth-century kingdom of Urland. Director Matthew Robbins’s […]
