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)

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gorgeously stylized journey through fantastical lands built on Rimsky-Korsakov's opera, where a musician's quest for a legendary bird becomes a tale of romance and self-discovery. The film moves with the dreamlike logic of a fairy tale, trading narrative velocity for painterly beauty and moments of pure theatrical magic.
