jules verne must be spin in his grave to see his excellent novel turn into a shoddy little romance for those who move their lip when they read . if they can read at all . ben cross be a decent actor and a be richard crenna and but they be badly miscast in this low grade and moronic little adventure flick and their heart truly do not seem to be in it at all . small wonder . unless there be absolutely nothing else on tv except love boat re run and do not do this one unless youre about half drunk and look for laugh . see ben cross in his silly little uniform with the faggy pink sash ye god and how could he keep a straight face . i would give it about half a star . maybe .
