Amazon.co.uk Review

James Mason plays Professor Oliver Lindenbrook, a scientist hoping to find the world's core in this 1959 adaptation of the Jules Verne novel, Journey to the Centre of the Earth. He leads his unusual party on an expedition to the centre of the earth, by way of a volcano in Iceland. On the way, they encounter enormous mushrooms and giant prehistoric monsters. Produced by Michael Todd with then-spectacular special effects, the story was modernised to 1950s sensibilities. Mason gives this class, while Arlene Dahl and Diane Baker are the romantic interests. And Pat Boone is more palatable than you might expect as a secondary lead. You can watch this with your children and not be bored, and they will surely love it. --Rochelle O'Gorman

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic adventure movie with great special effects., 12 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Journey To The Centre Of The Earth [VHS] [1959] (VHS Tape)
An adventure movie based on Jules Verne's classic story about a band of explorers incident-filled journey to the centre of the earth.

This film has everything you could ask for in a good movie - murder, intrigue, romance, volcanos, a cute little duck (?), Pat Boone singing (well nearly everything), James Mason doing what he did best (i.e. being James Mason) and much more.

Great special effects (for 1959) help make this a great film!

5.0 out of 5 stars James mason gets down---I mean way down., 12 April 2005
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
A Professor (James Mason) is given a piece of lava for a present. It proves to be too heavy for the type of lava. Upon examination there is a message inside that will eventually take this professor through many adverse adventures eventually leading to a "Journey to the Center of the Earth"

I usually side with the book. However this time it is the movie that I will hold as the standard. This is better than all the subsequent attempts to re-interpret the story. They picked just the right people for the parts. Pat Boone as Alec McEwen, "Goodbye Charlie" (1964), James Mason as Professor Oliver Lindenbrook, and Arlene Dahl as Mrs. Carla Goetaborg. And Thayer David was the sinister Count Saknussmen. Many of the location scenes were at Carlsbad Caverns, NM. And it was a nice touch to include "My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose" a song using the words of Robert Burns.

The count had no scruples when it came to shooting or eating. However I was a little upset when he ate Gertrude.

I still watch this periodical. And kid about the three marks of Arny Saknussmen when they show the footprint of the Mantis "The Deadly Mantis" (1957), as it has the same three marks.
