20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
“The mightiest motion picture of them all!”
Ned Land (Kirk Douglas), a harpooner with a big appetite for the sea and not much patience for anyone else's orders, signs on to hunt down whatever has been sinking ships. What he finds is Captain Nemo (James Mason) and the Nautilus, a submarine more advanced than anything afloat. Richard Fleischer fills the CinemaScope frame with Technicolor water, and the Nautilus glides through it, a dark hull in the blue.
