Review of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) by Ashley H — 13 Feb 2007
Classic adventure-movie based on immortal novel by Jules Verne. Amazing special effects, considering that this is 1954! The film is well made with impressive set-designs and sparkling cast that convinces all over.
Kirk Douglas is somewhat out of place as constantly playing and singing Ned Land, not at all the strong and willfully man that we are presented for in the book. Paul Lukas is somewhat stiff, but James Mason owns the film as Nemo.
One of his best performances ever he practically steals every scene he appears in and provides the movies backbone. And then there is Peter Lorre who off course provides the laughs. A movie for the entire family!
