ALL SCI-FI

[Bud Brewster]

If you ever get the urge to watch Son of Sinbad on TCM, hoping it might be a better movie than you expected, don't give up on it until you've seen the gorgeous Sally Forrest perform a full-on "pole dance" for Dale Robertson!

How this managed to get past the sensors in 1955 is a genuine mystery. Miss Forrest's dance moves are plum salacious, and her costume is eye popping. Her back is complete bare because the garment covering her breasts is stuck to her skin, and it almost qualifies as pasties!

Even the music is sexy!

Watch the video below so you'll know I'm not exaggerating.

The film was shot in 1953 and planned to be released in 3D. Because of difficulties with the Motion Picture Production Code, studio head Howard Hughes shelved the film until 1955, when it was converted to the Tushinsky SuperScope process, in 2-D (flat).

It is Vincent Price's fourth and final 3-D film.

The film, described by one critic as "a voyeur's delight", has St. Cyr as a principal member of a Baghdad harem populated with dozens of nubile starlets. The film was condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency.

Vincent Price is superb as Omar Khayam, and he has the best lines in the movie. In fact, this is by far my favorite role by Mr. Price.

IMDB has several interesting trivia item that are truly amazing.

The movie features 127 gorgeous young starlets, all dressed in outrageously provocative harem girl outfits.

According to the TCM Archives, the film received several re-edits to remove dance scenes that were deemed unacceptable by the censors. Production Code Authority director Joseph Breen declared the film "unacceptable by reason of indecent dance movements and too-scanty costuming,"

The original opening credits featured a dance that was removed, and other dance scenes were shortened, although this is hard to believe in view of the fact that the dances which remain are surprisingly long and remarkably suggestive, even by modern standards.

In view of the sexy scenes the movie DOES have, the suggestion that it had scenes which were deemed "unacceptable by reason of indecent dance movements and too-scanty costuming," is mind boggling!

Here's one of the scenes they didn't cut out, just to substantiate the claim that 127 bubblicious babes packed this production with female pulchritude!
