DVD Synopsis
This 1954 Disney version of Jules Verne's -20,000 Leagues Under the Sea represented the studio's costliest and most elaborate American-filmed effort to date. Kirk Douglas plays a trouble-shooting 19th century seaman, trying to discover why so many whaling ships have been disappearing of late. Teaming with scientist Paul Lukas and diver Peter Lorre, Douglas sets sail to investigate--and is promptly captured by the megalomaniac Captain Nemo (James Mason), who skippers a lavish, scientifically advanced submarine. The film's special effects, including a giant squid, were impressive enough in 1954 to win an Academy Award. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

James Mason was THE perfect Captain Nemo. He plays the lovable yet insane person so well. You never know if you should trust him or not.An excellent film with stunning underwater shots (for the time period) Although the ending does vary from the book, it is an awesome time capsule. The issues it addressed are consistent with the era the film was made it. (Think Nuclear Bombs)
Awesome film, well worth the watch.
