This made-for-DVD documentary details the work that went into the production of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Disney's 1954 version of the classic science fiction novel by Jules Verne. Adventure fans are treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of this tale of undersea travels and the dangers of the deep, with particular attention at the work of stars Kirk Douglas and James Mason in making the movie such a success. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>
This 88 minute documentary on the Making of 20,000 Leaques under the Sea can be found on the second disc of the 2-dvd set of the aforementioned movie. It features rare interviews with much of the still living cast and is pretty darn informative. It goes into how the project came to be, as well as various remembrance of the filming and historian viewpoints. Liking the movie that it was based on, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this documentary and I would have to problem at all recommending this to anyone, and would do so without any hesitation on my part. Anyone who loves 20,000 leagues owes it to themselves to watch and savor this as well.
