I remember a movie, TV show when I was a kid about an evil sorcerer (genie, king) that had his heart in a protective box or jar separated from his body. As long as his heart was safe he could not be destroyed, he was invincible. In the end, the hero gets his heart and throws it from a tower killing the evil sorcerer. Does anyone know where this is from? Thanks.

Captain Sindbad (1963)
IMDb review excerpt:
The whole point of the movie is ... for Sindbad to travel to the tower where the heart is stored, guarded by the giant hand, so that he can destroy it and kill the bad guy.
