Director: Stewart Raffill
Starring: Robert Urich, Mary Crosby, Michael D Roberts

Synopsis:
Space pirates are commissioned by a princess to find her father, who went missing in search of the legendary Seventh World.

Impressions:
This movie is probably obscure to general audiences, but I have a particular fondness for it as one of the entries in my family's film canon. It doesn't have a very big budget, but it has some interesting worldbuilding and it's fairly entertaining. It was one of the first film roles of Ron Perlman and one of the last of John Carradine. There's some good chemistry in the cast and even if the costuming and effects can be cheesy, there's plenty of charm to it. If a swashbuckling space opera sounds good to you, give it a watch.
