Before Red October was hunted, before K-19 made any widows, before the Beatles lived in a xanthous submersible filled with drugs, there was the greatest submarine of all. The Nautilus, from the Jules Verne novel of 1870. And there was one of the great tortured antiheroes in its Captain Nemo. In 1954, Walt Disney Productions released a grand, spectacular feature film version of the tale, the most costly movie ever at the time it was made. Will the film hold the same magic for Matthew as it did in the 70s when he was an eight-year-old lover of adventure stories? And what will Ian make of Peter Lorre as a good guy, or Kirk Douglas as a singing whaler? WARNING 1: Contains spoilers for Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
