Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
Sadko is based on an opera by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, which was based on a Russian epic tale of the same name. In the old Russian city of Novgorod, the merchants are feasting in a gorgeous palace and Sadko is bragging that he can bring to their land a sweet-voiced bird of happiness. They laugh at him, but he is offered help by the Ocean King’s daughter, who is mesmerized by Sadko’s singing and is in love with him. The hero is destined to visit many lands in his search of the bird. First shown in the USA in 1953 with English subtitles. This entry is for 1962 English-dub by Roger Corman’s Filmgroup, which runs about 8 minutes shorter (removes much of the music) than the Russian original (see, Sadko, 1953)
Length 80 minutes

Viewing Notes
Eh not so good but interesting nonetheless. This was the recut US version and not the original Russian musical Sadko. TMDb should really have two listings since the US release removes the musical numbers and crafts the film to be more western in its dubbing.
