Review of Escape from Zahrain

This was the third English movie that I saw as a kid, after "Jungle Cat" and "Absent Minded Professor". I thought that it was an excellent action adventure film at the time. Yul Brynner is always good to watch and Sal Mineo's death particularly upset me since he looked so young. Although I could see the holes in the plot line when I saw it again as an adult, I still think that it is better than a lot of other movies of the genre, with some good photography and sound effects. The climactic scenes were particularly well done and the acting overall was quite good. Pity that it is still not available as DVD. I hope that Paramount Pictures take note.
