Two Jules verne classics

Posted by rico (A) on November 18, 2004 at 10:16:12

I recently rewatched the current DVDs of "Journey to the Center of
the Earth" and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". Both star James Mason, the former with Pat Boone and Arelene Dahl and the latter with Kirk Douglas and Peter Lorre. Both have been maeticulously restored (particularly "Journey...") and both feature anamorphic video and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound (which the menu in "Journey..." mistakenly calls "Dolby Surround"). Both are enjoyable, family friendly efforts, with a mixture of adventure, humor, music, and thrills. "...Leagues..." has more extras but the various video versions of "...Journey..." shown in split screen is very well done. I cannot imagine either of these without Mason, who is superb in each one.

I also have the silent 1917 version of "...Leagues...", which is a hoot and features some of the earliest underwater cinematography ever done.
