What happens
Sadko (Russian: Садко) is a 1953 Soviet adventure fantasy film directed by Aleksandr Ptushko and adapted by Konstantin Isayev from Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's eponymous opera, which was based on a Russian bylina ('epic tale') about Sadko the merchant. The music is Rimsky-Korsakov's score. The film was released in the Soviet Union by Mosfilm in January 1953. It was distributed in the USA by Artkino Pictures with English subtitles later in 1953, and in 1962 was English-dubbed by Roger Corman's The Filmgroup Inc. and distributed as The Magic Voyage of Sinbad.
