Sunday and Monday
Walt Disney presents Kirk Dug
las, Paul Lukas, James Mason and
Peter Lorre in Jules Verne’s
“20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.”
in Cinemascope with Stereophonic
Sound and color by Technicolor.
This astounding movie, showing
at the Orpheum over the weekend,
is said to be Walt Disney’s most
ambitious production to date.
Verne, who lived about a hundred
years ago, is considered today as
foreseeing the atomic submarine.
Thi^ elaborate production is an
amazing visualization of the auth
or’s famous novel of the submar
ine Nautilus. Manned by a strange
erew of which the moody Captain
Nemo was the master, the craft
traveled from tropic waters to ice
fields—keeping close to the ocean
bottom.
Not only did Verne’s imagination
encompass a sub-ocean craft that
could submerge at will, and stay
“below” for as long as its com
mander desired, but it ran the
gamut of many other ultra-mod
ern devices, from air-compression
to electrically fired jet-propulsion
guns. Disney made the major por
tion of the film underwater Se
quences were filmed on location
at Nassau, in the Bahamas Islands,
where the troup worked 30 feet
below the surface of the Caribean.
Kirk Douglas is cast as Ned
Land, fearless harpooner; James
Mason, as Captain Nemo, saturnine
master of the submarine Nautilus;
Paul Lukas as Arronax, adventur
ous scientist; and Peter Lorre, as
Conseil, his mild-mannered, reluc
tant assistant.
Richard Fleiser directed the film
ing.
