@PizzaFlix thanks for a really fun movie,. This adventure took men and women not only into the depths of the Earth, but into the depths of their own limitations and hearts. Great classic movie.
Thank's for the upload. Was released 10 before I was born. I grew up watching these science fiction and Creature Feature horror movies at night, in my bedroom when I was supposed to be sleeping. Great to see them again.
@@alphonsozorro7952 And that's a sad thing. I can see a huge difference between the happiness and contentment of kids in the past and kids now. I wish they had a better childhood and could remain as children as long as possible. That all ends when we become adults and responsible for ourselves and others.
I'm a geezer and fan of old sci-fi stuff since childhood, but I'd never heard of this one! It's downright brilliant; not at all the flakey stuff we can usually expect from the '50s. The concept of an inner Earth, as proposed in Bulwer-Lytton's writings; a "black sun;" all stuff that was far beyond the usual. It's sort of a cross between "Things To Come" (especially that vehicle!) and "Journey to the Center of the Earth." I can recommend this one 100%; thanks so much for posting it.
I did a search on the pretty woman in this movie. She is Marilyn Nash. She did one movie with Charlie Chaplin and this one and that was all. She became a casting director. Her casting credits included The Great Smokey Roadblock, The Klansman and The Outlaw Josey Wales. Born October 26, 1926 - Died October 6, 2011.
In Saturday afternoon it was Creature Feature those were the times how scary those movies seem to be when we were kids and then to top it off Saturday evenings championship wrestling from Florida with Gordon solie I wish I could go back
When was the last time you saw a scientist wearing a sport jacket as they venture through some unknown space. A previous viewer has it right. This is so bad I have to watch. 🤣🤣
This is BEFORE both "Journey's to the Center to the Earth" and one "Fantastic Voyage". Pretty imaginative for '51. Surprised it wasn't common knowledge in '51 that the earth has a caramel chewy center.
if you think the movie came first.....it didn't. "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was WRITTEN in the 1870's. And the movie of the 1960's goes way off-story with its own plot line.
I remember seeing this in the drive in as a child (71 yrs old now)... Had to give you a thumbs up just for the act of preserving it. And now I've wasted a perfectly good Monday afternoon 😂😂 thank you.
"What's it going to cost, doctor Morley?" "Fifteen billion US dollars, plus twenty--five cents." "What's the twenty--five cents for?" "Parking meters."
Spent many a Saturday night in my small town watching these movies. We called it "chiller" night. There was nothing else for young people to do. Sometimes I'd roast marshmallows over the gas cook stove.
The one I'll never forget as a kid was saturday afternoon matinee in front of the tube with spaghetti and the tingler. We had two tvees. One for picture and one for sound.
Enjoyed this very much. It does have a touch of reality, tho in 1951 it was still in the future. I saw it at the Gem Theatre, at 13 yrs old, in 1961. I needed an adult ticket 35 cents, popcorn 15 cents and the soda was way over priced at 20 cents. I really liked seeing the clothes styles and hair dos.
Both jack rabin and Irvine block Should be more well known . They play an important part in the reason why the 1950s is the golden age of science fiction. They were special effects artists in so many films throughout the 1950s and can't forget another special effects artists in Gene Warren.
I saw this online a few years ago by chance on New Year's Eve. It impressed me as progressive, with certain Henry Wallace vibes in Dr. Morley. And Dr. Lindsey stunned to find a pen of lab rabbits dying? It was left to the audience to find any symbolism in that.
Look at photos from the 20s of the search for Tutankhamun's tomb. Suits and ties in the Egyptian desert. Guys in suits were normal not too many years ago. Jeans and tshirts were not. I hate to think where fashion is moving to.
That's what they forgot to install on the early Space Vessels to the moon...Apollo 11 for example...🤔they had to use plastic bags...degrading for class A Astronauts...😔
Anyone know what island they saw when they came to surface? What I like most about this movie is that it seems as though this is something that really could’ve happened. Many insects barrel themselves underground for safety too.
I miss these types of movies, when strong men smoked and beautiful women would scream and faint into a mans arms at the first sign of danger, it's way better than the metro-sexual crap we get today with men getting beaten up by women in action movies
I like this movie but I am puzzled. They have a machine that burrows so instead of burrowing into to connect to the cavern they spend 5 hours 27 mins. going up hill? Lol.
@Dark Wolf I'm not sure, it has been over a year ago since I've seen it . Sorry I'm getting old these days and I'm a bit of an alci, so my memory isn't so good 😄 Just watch it
@@sunniharley1745 i think of how many people were involved in making this and how many times they all looked at this thing, and it never dawned on one of them that it is functionally impossible. or it just thought it wouldn't matter to viewers, LOL. love these movies.
I had to smile at the idea of that depth. As a driver at 200 ft considering the cabin pressure at 2500 miles ...wulf...but cool movie at theater when nobody had A/C and stereo but the movies for 10¢!
The Cyclotram looks like a cross between a futuristic tank and a 1949 Cadillac. Besides the shape being completely different, "Things to Come" was a British production and "Unknown World" was American.
Their cyclotram looks rather primitive by today's standards, and yet they were able to go sixteen hundred miles below the Earth's surface, while today we can not even go as deep as 8 miles. Clearly, itt makes more sense to avoid nuclear annihilation by going to an island paradise, where fish have eyes, and rabbits can breed. Now we know.
Binyon's stream of consciousness: I really love this flick. It is awful and who the F smokes a pipe in a craft like that? What's up with nearly everything they do? I think the lack of O2 is making them all dopey. Fist fights? Really? I love this movie.. seen it many times, but with my memory... It's new to me! You gotta love the "Central Casting" roles - one ex-nazi with accent, wealthy guy with excess testo, a very intelligent and sexy lady scientist, a mad scientist (that guy... but). Oh, I know what you're thinking... He's not mad! and You are correct! But he is PISTOFF! Movie over. that's all
the same people who were pilots in the 70's & the doctors in the 70's who told you how to care for yourself & the list goes on - like; 14 of every 100 U.S. adults aged 18 years or older *currently* smoke cigarettes. That's about 34 million adults.
excuse me but the drill on the front of their vehicle is quite small compared to the body. this is a silly question, but how does the entire vehicle fit through the much smaller hole the drill makes. just askin. this is a pretty hokey movie. i am glad my name does not appear in the credits.
Those toy ships didn't even budge with that fake bomb going off in the beginning of the movie. All that smoke from something so tiny that nobody can even see one with a super awesome microscope.
The one big lesson of this whole movie... A man is not allowed to use a sledgehammer unless he first takes off his shirt. Does that also apply to the ladies?
In summary: Drive, find a cave, put on helmets, get out, find nothing, get back in, rush driver when something happens, find cave, helmets, get out/in find nothing. Repeat every 5 minutes.
I’ve been looking for this movie for 40 yrs, I remember it when I I was a kid! Thanks!

As a kid in the greater Detroit area, for us it was always "Morgus the Magnificent" and later, "The Ghoul."
Boris Karloff , popcorn and curled up on the couch . The stuff the 50s were made of .

The Carlyle Group. Of course, it was them. They're still at it.
thank you for the movie. it had a good ending and enjoyable.
At 26:08 - "The air is fresh and clear, you can take your masks off". YES, it's about time!
Until someone drops their guts then put clothes pegs on
They must have been a thousand miles from New Jersey then.
Seems to be a remake of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and the machine reminds me of the machine in "At the Earth's Core"

Seems to be an adaptation of the story "At the Earth's Core" by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Most movies are bad or illegal adaptations. Producers aren't the creative ones.
I'm just thinking being underwater at a depth of 2,500 miles might be a concern. The pressure would be 6,600,000 PSI.
what a hoot!
um am i to believe that does not need a drill head, at least the size of the vehicle?

+Bob Skiba Calling Captain flashback! Oh man, what a great series.
Yeah I like it
The big draw of course, are the stars: Bruce Kellogg, Otto Waldis, Jim Bannon
Water pressure at 2500 miles 5,715,600 psi +/- a bit
Other than that the movie was good
Well that is good to know.

5,865,640 PSI. Pressure at 2500 miles down if it were water depth.
That's more pressure than a tax audit.
I had to smile at the idea of that depth. As a driver at 200 ft considering the cabin pressure at 2500 miles ...wulf...but cool movie at theater when nobody had A/C and stereo but the movies for 10¢!
Only humans were killed for this movie. No animals. ☠️☠️☠️. Thank you PETA !!!
Fell asleep; woke up ; movie still on.....
Lol, the "Cyclotron" is a modified tank from the 1936 movie, "Things To Come".
And what a strange trip that flick was. I am still trying to decide if I might've preferred the Warlord over the Engineer. Science without morals.
@Dark Wolf Thanks! Correction made. Lol. :)
The Cyclotram looks like a cross between a futuristic tank and a 1949 Cadillac.
Besides the shape being completely different, "Things to Come" was a British production and "Unknown World" was American.
The pressure that deep would crush them with no protection .like a grape under the 100 pound hammer..haha..🌎
You managed to catch the one and only technical error.
"But isn't the inside of the Earth the very core, a fiery, molten mass?"
finding an unknown land just means they'll pollute it too, then both places will become extinct of life.
I'm not saying The Core ripped this movie off, but there are a lot of similarities. Especially the end.
Their cyclotram looks rather primitive by today's standards, and yet they were able to go sixteen hundred miles below the Earth's surface, while today we can not even go as deep as 8 miles. Clearly, itt makes more sense to avoid nuclear annihilation by going to an island paradise, where fish have eyes, and rabbits can breed. Now we know.
Binyon's stream of consciousness: I really love this flick. It is awful and who the F smokes a pipe in a craft like that? What's up with nearly everything they do? I think the lack of O2 is making them all dopey. Fist fights? Really? I love this movie.. seen it many times, but with my memory... It's new to me!
