Product Description:
JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH is based on Jules Verne's 1864 novel. A scientist heads out on a treacherous journey to the center of the earth.With him are an intrepid student, an Icelandic guide and the widow of a geologist who steals his information in an attempt to beat him to the earth's core. Along the way the group are confronted by all manner of dangerous obstacles: excessive heat and cold, gale force winds, and tremendous floods.

James Mason plays Professor Oliver Lindenbrook, a scientist hoping to find the world's core in this 1959 adaptation of the Jules Verne novel. He leads his unusual party on an expedition to the center of the earth, by way of a volcano in Iceland. On the way, they encounter enormous mushrooms and giant prehistoric monsters. Produced by Michael Todd with then-spectacular special effects, the story was modernized to 1950s sensibilities. Mason gives this class, while Arlene Dahl and Diane Baker are the romantic interests. And Pat Boone is more palatable than you might expect as a secondary lead. You can watch this with your children and not be bored, and they will surely love it. --Rochelle O'Gorman

- James Mason and Arlene Dahl strike a fantastic chemistry in star-studded adventure

- Classic novel with dated hollywood special effects
In the late 50's sci fi was in so they dug up Jules Verne's
classic and made a star studded epic.
At one point Pat Boone takes off his shirt,
which must have made the 50's teenage girls happy.
They discover the sunken Atlantis at the center of the world.
All in all they made hodge of a very dated classic,
but it is very like an Alice in Wonderland production:
more a fantasy with lizards made up to be dinosaurs.
Not James Mason's finest hour( I hope they ... Read More
