Review of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) by Bill W — 11 Oct 2007
If you have read the book you know there is really no story there. Professor Aranax and Ned Land find themselves guests of Captain Nemo aboard the Nautilus, a fantastic undersea vessel and they travel under the oceans for 20,000 leagues.
That's the plot you have to work with. Well, the people involved with producing this film took that flimsy little premise and delivered quite a wonderful film with quite a wonderful story in addition to some really amazing conceptual designs and special effects.
None of the subsequent attempts to put this story on film have come close. It's a "Whale of a Tale.".
