Elaborate Production of the Jules Verne Story.
Featuring Detailed Designs in the Nautilus that are Imaginative Displays of Technology from the Mind of Perhaps the First Science-Fiction Author.
The Disney Story and Screen-Play Stumbles and Stutters its Way through the Terrorist Attacks from Nemo.
Along the Way there are High-Lights.
Like the Giant-Squid Attack, Undersea Gardening.
The Climax at Volcania, Nemo's "Mysterious Island" is Corny but Visually Impressive as the Captain Destroys His Inventions that Humanity does Not Deserve.
You will Probably Never See a More Over-the-Top Acting Performance from a Major Star in a Big-Budget Production than that of Kirk Douglas.
It is an Acting Gig that has to be Seen to Believe it was Considered Acceptable in 1954.
The Dark Tone of the Movie with all of its Sombre Dialog Exchanges and Musical Tones is Consistently Interrupted by Douglas and His Brand of a Salty Hero.
The Disney Production Team Encountered Many Technical Obstacles but Managed to Complete a Film that Pleased Mid-Fifties Audiences. Adults and Kids Alike.
The Kirk Douglas On-Screen Embarrassment Aside, the Movie is a Good Entertainment if Not a Great One.
