![]() In 1958 director Nathan Juran had helmed The 7th Voyage of Sinbad with both Matthews and Thatcher starring as the good and evil characters respectively. The mere mention of stop motion automatically brings to mind the great name of Ray Harryhausen. It's loosely based on the traditional tale "Jack the Giant Killer" and features the use of stop motion animation. There's quite a back story to this United Artists feature film. But Pendragon is not to be denied and a battle between good and evil commences. However, his plans are at first thwarted when farmers boy Jack (Kerwin Matthews) slays the giant sent by Pendragon to claim the Princess. It's the fairy tale land of Cornwall, England, and the Black Prince Pendragon (Torin Thatcher) plans to abduct Princess Elaine (Judith Meredith) so as to gain control of the land.
