Tom Baker fans may want to keep an eye out for a local showing of the movie "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad" (British, 1974). Tom Baker plays "Koura" or "Khoura", an evil magician who is Sinbad's nemesis. He spends most of the movie in makeup designed to make him appear aged, but gets rejuvenated at the close, so is the Tom Baker we all know, except that he wears a beard and mustache. The makeup fooled me at first -- I just happened across the movie at random after it started, so I had not seen the opening credits. The Koura character looked naggingly familiar. I stayed to watch the Harryhausen animation, and then realized who the actor was just by the way he widened his eyes and grinned. The closing credits confirmed it to be Tom Baker. Regards, Will
