JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (1959)
CertificationU Our Rating
Based on Jules Verne's fantasy adventure we follow Professor Lindenbrook and his motley posse into the bowls of the earth where they discover a land that time forgot (or something very similar). Very bad baddies, huge ravenous lizards, and giant mushrooms are just a taster of the goodies on offer. There's also a bit of effective sexual symbolism, in typical Hollywood style, which greatly enhances the syrupy romantic subplot. Excellent and with the added bonus of the late, great James Mason.
