That was on Svengoolie last Saturday. I tuned in after Svengoolie's introduction, so I didn't know what the feature was until the titles started rolling. I immediately recognized the score as one of Bernard Herrmann's. There's one motif that sounds so much like the score when the gang is out at James Mason's pad outside Rapid City, in North by Northwest. That movie came out in 1959.

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad was a classic on so many levels. I stayed up to watch this one.
