Metamorphose

In another of those wonderful Harryhausen never-never wonderland adventures, an evil magician forces Sinbad to take him to the deadly isle of Colossa (so that he can retrieve a powerful genie in a lamp) by surrepticiously shrinking Sinbad's girlfriend to about four inches in height. She remains this size for most of the film (even sliding down into the lamp to visit with the boy genie) but is returned to normal in the end. The girlfriend was played by Katheryn Grant, later to become Mrs. Bing Crosby. In a short segment, a chatty lady in waiting is also transformed into a half-snake/half-woman.
