Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959)

Just a reminder to 'you all' .... the title of this Blog is 'Stop Motion Works & Retro FX'. The 'Retro FX' = Old school general special effects (not just stop motion)! This 1959 film is based on the Jules Verne novel, 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' (1864). Perhaps, this movie is  now a forgotten old classic in the science fiction genre. As an action & adventure story, I enjoyed it as a youngster and now re-visiting, it brought back good memories and I still LIKE it very much! For that time, this movie was long at 2 hours! Great performances from the earlier days of Hollywood  ... Click > James Mason, Pat Boone, Arlene Dahl, & Diane Baker. Also, especially, the powerful musical score by ... Click > Bernard Herrmann.

If you want to temporarily escape the current mind numbing news & social media bombardment, perhaps you might want to consider watching.  During the movie, near the end, at time stamp about 1 minute, 40 seconds .... my only small criticism was ... Where was Ray Harryhausen when this movie was made? The studio could not afford him? LOL 😆

It was a bit difficult finding the full movie, however, I scored these few and you can see which works for you. For best viewing: Your computer screen monitor (full screen) or hook-up your laptop to your large TV screen using HDMI cable and you will somewhat get the cinema experience! 📽️ 🍿
