SoundTrackCollector does not list anything for the movie.
Does anyone know why it was never commercially released?
I think the score is pretty good although it is a bit repeatitive. But it has some great music for a ballet performed for the villain El Kerim (Pedro Armendariz).
What do others think of this score? I would like it for the ballet music alone.

Saw this one back in the 60s...Remember some giant hand attacking hero? Or someone. More than likely the hero...

Or perhaps Captain SinDbad climbs a tower and is attacked by a giant letter D that got chucked out of his name??!!

I haven't seen the film, but I suspect that composer Michel Michelet wasn't (and still isn't) very well known. CAPTAIN SINBAD was filmed in Munich, where Kurt Graunke conducted the score.
This is the only score by Michelet that I have heard that I know of. I did not check his credits at IMDB so I could have heard others and have forgotten or did not pay any attention .
The design of the movie is like an Arabian fantasy gone crazy and a villain with no heart, literally.
It is a fun movie. Young kids will love it.

Guy Williams (ZORRO, LOST IN SPACE) actually doesn't seem to have a lot of lines in this, considering his star billing in the title role.

Michel Michelet did some other scores in the same vein as Captain Sindbad: Siren of Atlantis (1949), and the two part Indian Epic for Fritz Lang - The Tiger of Eschnapur and Tomb of Love. All of these scores are wonderful, rich with orchestral color and memorable themes. All are deserving of a CD release. As far as I know nothing by Michelet has ever made it to disc.
I have not seen the two part Lang epic. Only Debra Paget's snake dance I found on YouTube.

I think that Debra Paget has two suggestive dance sequences in the German films.
CAPTAIN SINBAD is available as a Warner Archives MOD.
I have a copy of it on tape and on my computer, but what is a MOD?

Michelet wrote the original score for Ray Harryhausen's THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS, but his music was tossed and replaced by David Buttolph's score. At that time the pictures was titled THE MONSTER FROM BENEATH THE SEA. Michelet also scored THE NAKED APE, the 1951 M, TARZAN'S PERIL, LURED, SIREN OF ATLANTIS, and others. He was nominated for an Academy Award for scoring the 1944 film VOICE IN THE WIND. I met him when he was 102 and I looked through his archive, but couldn't find much film music. It was mostly his classical pieces that were on hand. He lived on Courtney Ave. in Hollywood if I recall. And his manager/caretaker was named Boris, which I thought was perfect given that Michelet was Russian!
