Episode 50: The Golden Voyage of Sinbad- Caroline Munro and Kurt Christian reunited
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of 'The Golden Voyage of Sinbad', we reunited two of the stars of this classic film! Watch as Caroline Munro (Margiana) and Kurt Christian (Haroun) reminisce on working with Ray Harryhausen in 1973, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and treasured memories. Hosted by Foundation Trustee John Walsh and Collections Manager Connor Heaney, both actors reflect on Ray's legacy, decades after their work with him.
Kurt would also star in 'Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger', and happily discusses his villainous turn as Prince Rafi. As we look back on Ray's beloved films of the 1970s, it is wonderful to have these first-hand accounts of their creation. Many thanks to Caroline and Kurt for speaking with us!
