The screen writer is Jean-Pierre Andrevon, a famous French science fiction novelist, probably the best. But writing a novel is one thing, and writing a screen play another. This one is absolutely awful, so terrible that I am unable to describe it, summarize this close indoor garbage tale. French are not Americans in that field. Here, you have a group of people who are dreaming about Jules Verne's fantasy world, about Captain Nemo and a sort of under the sea kingdom. It's so lousy, I am ashamed to have seen such a crap, where the acting is the worst ever. I highly preferred the other episodes, more in the french fashion. French must remain french. OK, you have some action sequences but that's all. I still have not understood what the hell Eddie Constantine did in that mess. And you have also a downbeat ending, only that can save this tale, but that's unfortunately not enough for me.
