THE MAGIC SWORD - Great little fantasy film starring Basil Rathbone. A princess is taken to a sorcerors castle and the King sends out his best man whom he promises her hand in marriage, but George a sorceress son also volonteers to rescue her as they must face the seven curses of Lodak. Along the way the battle a giant ogre and face other creepy dangers, monsters and a dragon. The make-up is very good especially on Maila Nurmi (Vampira) as has some good monster scenes. The have have double headed twins that speak in unison. This is definately a B-movie fantasy film that is well done. Picked this DVD up for .50 cents. Great deal and you will not be disappointed. I really enjoyed this film.

This is a Mr. B.I.G. film (Bert I. Gordon) and one of my favorites.  Definitely a B-movie classic.  Even the dragon at the end is pretty cool for a low budgeter!  Estelle Winwood is great as the witch Sybil.

I own this film on VHS.  It's an old favourite.  I watched it for the first time on tv in french when I was a kid, because I liked the title 'L'epee Enchante'.  You don't need the dialogue to understand what's going on.  Gotta love what happens to Sir Branton...

Am I mistaken,or is this the same film ST.GEORGE and the 7 CURSES under an alternate title? I have a copy of Famous Monsters #13 (1961) and it seems to be the same film.In the photos,it shows pinhead guy, birdmen,and Vampira as an old hag.And it's directed by Mr.BIG.Looks real cool!

Fun flick.  I picked up the dvd a while back.  The siamese twin character is a hoot.

It has some classic lines too, like when the french knight explains why he wandered off with a pretty girl.....

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
