"The Golden Voyage of Sinbad."

Swashbuckling, and magic.
Best part, the evil wizard is played by Tom Baker, yes, who went on to play The Doctor.

1. Isn't the special effects done by the same guys that did the (1980s) Clash of the Titians?

4. Yes, it was Ray Harryausen

who brought many a wondrous tale to life and inspired a generation of artists with his magic. He's a great guy to boot.
Here's his website: http://www.rayharryhausen.com/index.php

saw it as a young girl and she was blown away by the effects.
