Despite reading a couple of poor reviews about City Beneath the Sea, I quite enjoyed this. It was a pilot for a TV series that was never made.
It is about Pacifica and the lives of its residents. It has its own Fort Knox where gold is kept but there are plans to steal this. Worse still, there is an asteroid on a collision course with the Earth and is due to strike near Pacifica, so an evacuation is ordered immediately. Luckliy, a way is devised to destroy this body, some missiles are sent up and it changes course and both Pacifica and the Earth are saved.
City Beneath the Sea is directed by Irwin Allen (Lost In Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, The Towering Inferno). As well as one of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea's stars, Richard Basehart, the Flying Sub from that series also appears in this.
Other cast members include Stuart Whitman, Robert Wagner (Titanic), Joesph Cotten (The Third Man), Rosemary Forsyth, Whit Bissell (I Was a Teenage Frankenstein, Creature From the Black Lagoon), Robert Colbert, James Darren and boxer Sugar Ray Robinson.
Though not brilliant, City Beneath the Sea is worth viewing, especially if you are a fan of Irwin Allen like myself.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
