I am looking for this film, which is Yugoslavian, and is a loose
adaptation of the BasCelik folktale, well known to Slavic peoples, but
virtually unknown here. I have tried all sorts of search services, and
they all say it's too obscure for them to find it, or tell me it's
available from MGM, when I specifically tell them it is NOT Bert I.
Gordon's film starring Basil Rathbone.
Cudotvorni mac (1950)
Genre: Fantasy / Adventure
Plot Outline: Evil Bas-Celik is terrorizing
people, but only the magic sword can harm him. A young hero
goes on the dangerous quest to find that sword.
