Please ignore the negative reviews. Almost sixty (60) years ago The Golden Arrow film was released and after just watching this adventure film for the first time, I can assure you that I will be watching it again in the future. I have just ordered a Blu Ray copy to add it to my "favourites" film library.
I have always been a big fan of the adventure/fantasy/science fiction genres and when you add some light comedy and romance in as well then the certainly audience gets their moneys worth. Adding even more enjoyment to the film is the beautiful technicolor format and some classic fantasy scenes such as the three (3) genies / wise men, performing Ray Harryhausen type magic interspersed such as a magic carpet ride, massive concrete pillars tumbling and of course The Golden Arrow itself that actor and star Tab Hunter the lowly thief bends when no one else can to win the hand in marriage to the beautiful princess Jamila (Rossana Podestà).
It is a fun film for young and old alike and the film was finished so quickly that I found myself wanting more of the same. I give it a highly rated 8 out of 10 IMDB rating and forget about the negative reviews. This is a fun filled family adventure/fantasy film!
