A rip-roaring sailor story with Captain Nemo, and a giant
squid.
Plot Summary:
A group of scientists investigates a mysterious "sea monster"
that's been attacking ships. They discover that the "monster" is
actually the Nautilus, a futuristic submarine piloted by
the enigmatic Captain Nemo. After being captured, they journey
across the seas with Nemo, experiencing the wonders and dangers
of the underwater world.
Dad's Preview:
Don't miss this
wonderful Disney film made from the classic Jules Verne novel.
It was such a joy to watch this on
The Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights as a kid.
James Mason plays the mysterious Captain Nemo and a young Kirk
Douglas provides the meat of the acting. However, the giant
squid is the real star. Its special effects were
something to behold, and at that time, unequaled.
