JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH
- JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH
Film (1959). 20th Century-Fox. Prod Charles Brackett. Dir Henry Levin, starring Pat Boone, James Mason, Arlene Dahl, Thayer David, Peter Ronson, Diane Baker. Screenplay Walter Reisch, Brackett, based on Voyage au centrede la terre (1864) by Jules VERNE. 132 mins. Colour.
A lively and literate screenplay (cowritten by producer Brackett, one of the Hollywood giants), vigorous if stereotyped characterization, good performances and a charming duck called Gertrud make this superior among the numerous Verne adaptations of the 1950s. There is a real
SENSE OF WONDER in some of the underground sequences - which involve labyrinthine caverns, a great ocean at the centre of the HOLLOW EARTH, the remains of ATLANTIS and statutory dinosaurs (iguanas with fins attached) - though the special effects are uneven. The escape from the centre riding a lava jet on an Atlantean altar of serpentine up a presumably 3,900-mile (6,250km) volcanic shaft is merely absurd; but, despite plot changes - including a rival expedition led by a satisfyingly villainous Icelander played by David - JTTCOTE, set in the 1880s, is true in spirit to its stirring original.
