The people watching this are on their phones or laptops. Clothing is just arbitrary standards of different times. Do you know how much suits and fancy dresses cost at the time, especially in relation to the salaries most people were earning at the time? Suits were and are uncomfortable and impractical, a total waste of money.
I love black & white sci-fi movies they have a peaceful charm to them I can't understand how people don't see these as watchable when they never get old and tiring to watch!
One reason is because back then, TJ-=0jActors/Actresses actually went to work every day. Even if they weren’t making a movie, they were working, on dancing playing musical instruments, taking singing lessons, even learning foreign languages. Everything you could fo to be more versatile and appealing for an upcoming part. It’s totally different today , of course.
I think a lot of people still enjoy watching them, they are popular here on RUclips. Most are older people, but not all…me for instance, lol. I wish they had more movies because I think I’ve seen everyone on here. There are many copyright issues. There is something about them I find just great but I can’t exactly say what it is. They are often silly, yet take themselves quite seriously. It’s that great B movie way they have that I just love. My daughter has a friend who loves them, yet she’s the only really young person that does. But I do think that 25 yrs. from now, maybe sooner, maybe later, few will watch these imo. There will always be people though who love and find the past interesting so they will always be around, even if the audience is smaller.
I love old black and white movies, and the stories with the actors/actresses making it look good with their acting talents and NO CGI/AI garbage, just pure entertainment and good storytelling. 👍❤️🙏🏼
You don't think there are deep underground bases? What do think about George Bush being a member of the Carlyle group with Osama Bin Laden's father? It's probably just a coincidence I'm sure
While we look back at these older movies and how simple they were I think it is that that simpleness that makes them so enjoyable so many years later. The movie is all about each character losing hope for life and finding it renewed. No long complex dialog, no sex, no graphic violence needed just basic acting and simple props, it works. Unlike the productions today where everything tries so desperately to one up the previous movie with more flash I appreciate these movies and find them much more relaxing to watch.
Those were wonderful times. Films made with much less technique, and much more artistic and cinematic abilities. Every movie has become a part of our lives. The plots were much more interesting, and the actors more expressive. The actors of that time were much more beautiful than today. Hairstyles, styles of dress and behavior - everything was much more beautiful than today.
I was born in 1960 and I remember watching a lot of these movies and I remember that I used to get so scared watching some of them lol even before school I was in to Sci-Fi
In Melbourne, Australia, a tunnel is being built to join two major freeways. The surface in numerous areas has been ripped apart, and tahere are monstrous, weird cranes that look like a super-giant's fishing gear. It has been a couple or so years in the making, with a number of years to go. The machine in this film could have done the job in one late afternoon.
I love it - they raise the funds for their scientific expedition, pill-form foodstuffs and super-advanced drilling tram, then when they get to the Aleutians, the cargo ship drops them off, no base camp or anything, then is immediately like "Seeya then!" Brilliant.
Presumably/logically, the cyclotram IS their base camp with food, shelter and reasonable comfort. (according to the actual script, there aren't any scenes deleted or anything: Scenes of unloading the ship would've cost more money, and this film was done for only about $100,000, total. )
What I don't get is how they expect that tiny drill bit to make a hole big enough for the body of the cyclotram to follow it thru. But that's not gonna keep me from watching and loving it. These are far more entertaining to me than the new stuff and all the comic book come to life villians and heroes. Just give me a good story about almost anything, made in any decade, set in any era. The acting is usually pretty good, too, and if the film isn't good there are still things to look at. Clothes, cars, interior decor. Car chases in Model T's are funny even if they're shooting at each other! The old slang and lingo of the day fascinate me, too. Seeing everybody, men and women, never leaving the house without a hat. I remember my dad's hats (in Minnesota they even had winter hats shaped like the regular hats they wore with their suits) on the coat closet shelf. I think he might have worn them regularly when I was very small but when we moved West in 1967 I don't recall ever seeing them again. I think they went out of fashion in the 60's when men started seeing stylists instead of barbers to get their hair styled instead of the standard cut. About the time designers started thinking the old grey suit might not have to be grey or look the same as it did 40 years earlier. With 4 stylish daughters my dad left the house every morning looking so dapper! An older sister started making his neckties. Beautiful fabrics, rich with color. Blue eyed blonde, in a deep pastel blue suit, cream shirt and a gorgeous, colorful tie. He'd check with me, the only one left at home to make sure he put the right pieces together. He had a butter yellow suit and a light burnt orange. He always looked so confident and professional. He retired before I left high school. Good thing, too. Mom would have not liked having to wake up to check his colors every morning. My entire school life I never saw my mother in the morning except on ladies day at the golf club when they were visiting another course and had to travel instead of opening the back gate and driving the golf cart up the edge of the course to the pro shop. Having to leave the beautiful house in town for the old farm (an outhouse!) when her family's bank went under paying their depositors back when the depression hit. At least that's the excuse her daughters came up with to explain her cold distance. If we needed nurturing we went to Dad.
@@wendybutler1681 What a beautiful family story, Wendy! thank you so much for sharing. That was an unexpectedly cosy and warming read on a cold November Sunday in Southern England. Greeting s from across the pond and Happy Thanksgiving.
January of 1951 I was born! Now I'm pushing towards 74 years old and this was around the time that SY-FY movies started being made. Of course they had some serials that were made in the 30s and 40s. And as I recall they still made some serials until around 1958. Now I'm an old man. Time sure does go by fast! This was a pretty good picture!
I was born in 1957. I'll be 67 this sept. I grew up watching these sci fis when I was a kid. Our favorite was Tobor the great. They all were great movies. And at my age, There are still some I haven't seen yet.
Victor Killian is not credited as Dr. Morley, the very guy who starts the whole thing! This is because he, like too many actors, writers, directors, musicians and artists, were unfairly targeted by the McCarthy Red Scare witch hunts at the time. He was in several films released the same year which had already been finished, and his name was not in the credits of any of them. He went back to the theater from then until the early 1960's. His most recognizable role in television was in the 1970s as the doddering father of the title character in Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. Other credits include Dr. Cyclops, The Ox Bow Incident, and Only Angels Have Wings.
He’s credited as “uncredited” on IMDB. It looks like about half of his 150 credits were “uncredited”. These days, “uncredited” refers to background characters who get paid a lot less than actors, but I’m assuming that he had speaking parts in most of his “uncredited” roles.
@@tooleyheadbang4239 I was thinking more along the lines of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Which of Conan Doyle's stories would relate to this film? There's plenty I'm unfamiliar with.
@@kkumi1782 "When the World Screamed". Professor Challenger drills deep into the Earth's crust, to test his theory that the planet is actually a sentient being resembling an echinoderm, such as a sea-urchin. I can recommend all of Doyle's Professor Challenger stories. (I love Burroughs' Martian stories, though.)
Except for the fact that geologists long before this movie was made knew that the heat and air pressure at 240 miles would be instantly fatal, that no limestone would be found at such depths, and that the heat would be so high, that all the rock would be molten for a while (ie. no chambers possible) underlain by very dense solid rock. But hey, when did movie makers ever listen to, and stay with the bounds of, known science?
You MUST have missed the "Memo" back in the 1950's where SPACE is the PLACE to BE!!! So, of course Hollywood had to make a few movies telling everyone that Super Duper Smart Scientists DID try to escape to the CORE of the Earth, but it's no good. Also, remember Captain Nemo?? 20,000 Leagues (= 60,000 miles btw) under The Sea never hit the Earth's Mantle. So, the Sea wasn't an option either. lol All FUTURE expenditures and endeavors MUST be concentrated on OUTER SPACE. Even The MOON was not a "Safe Place" to get away from "The Destructive Nature/Forces of MAN!!" ROFL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Her name is Marilyn Nash. She was born and raised in Flint, Michigan, but attended the University of Arizona with the dream of working in medicine. Her life changed when, while still in college, she visited Los Angeles and met Charlie Chaplin while playing tennis at the Beverly Hills Hotel. He was smitten by her good looks and signed her to an acting contract with his studio. Nash, however, made only two movies: Chaplin's "Monsieur Verdoux" released in 1947 when Nash was 21, and this film, "Unknown World," when she was 25. Nash eventually moved to northern California, where she worked occasionally as a casting director. She died in 2011.
I always wondered, since I first saw this movie in the drive-in ,. Why did they have to climb the mountain to enter the lava vents, when they could just drill thru at sea level ? ❔ But a wonderful romp thru sci-fi!!!
That Boring machine looks like my brother's dog, laying on the carpet, belly-down, dragging its rear legs straight behind, across the whole living room.
Brilliant! And all made on a budget of less than $100 no doubt ($25 of that was to pay for the model 'boring machine'). The sort of film I watched as a kid and never once questioned the scientific aspect or thew lack of plot explanations etc. I just enjoyed them.
So the Tuesday night bowling team decided to make a sci fi movie, starring themselves and a hired girl. They must have been rich because a movie like this costs several hundreds of dollars to make.
On the weekends my brother and I used to watch these old black and white movies on local television stations. Things even older than this like Flash Gordon. Then there was Abbot and Costello and many others. Very strange stuff to us. My kids cannot figure out why I like to watch old black and white movies. To them it would be like driving an old beat up Model T Ford.
Must have been great to live in those black&white days. Just imagine the confusion when stepping outside and suddenly being assaulted by all these different colours.
Actually, I found it a tad annoying. I often wondered where all the color went. Heck, I was still having an interesting time figuring out telephones. I had walked those distances- how could I ear the other person so clearly?
Haha....I enjoyed seeing that they put the Folded Clothes and Flash Lights (Still turned on btw) on top of the Graves of the two guys who died in the cave from POISONOUS GAS. Why didn't they take those extra working flash lights with them??? Those two guys didn't need them anymore. Was that some sort of "Electric" Candle Light Vigil for them??? 🕯🕯🕯🕯👻👻😇
It's a mechanical mole machine (with sharp teeth at the nose). I don't think I want to go on the exploration. I can see a person doesn't have to be a really smart scientist if it's a Hollywood-approved cave (things appear to be possible). I was expecting them to drill into a sharp drop-off!?! But they seem to have cave highways (or low ways) to drive on (that's handy). I've been in some caves and they're not always cooperative. In real life, heavy equipment can get stuck. It does remind me of Journey to the Center of the Earth. I do like the movie, anyway! MBJR. 2-24-24 at about 2:48 A.M. Oregon Time.
This movie caught my eye mostly because it was made in the year I was born, 1951, like another Science Fiction movie favorite of mine, "The Day the Earth Stood Still", which was also made in 1951!
Where else would we come across a great Sci-Fi classic film from the 1950's with a giant earth boring manned vehicle that looks like a giant Platypus. There is an old saying if you are a good story teller, people will come far and wide to listen to what you have to say. I love old movies like this from a period in time when actors really could act and the writing was top notch.
Opening scene- wind blast tests. Many of the crews on board the outer rim later died from radiation- they hadn't gotten a full handle on that notion when the tests were done. The impact of radiation was figured out after a few surprising expirations.
I like how they actually ARE in a cave. They could not fake those hammer blows and the echoes. YOu're a pretty good doctor...you covered my burns with a cloth. Wow. You must have really paid attention in medical school.
Matches, those were the days, strike a match, light whatever you’re smoking and throw the match right on the ground, especially in this new found pristine area, lol.😅
These vintage movies are great! Nobody on cell phones or laptops. And I love how the men all wore suits ...and ladies were classier.

Nash eventually moved to northern California, where she worked occasionally as a casting director. She died in 2011.
Marilyn Nash? Gets an 'AND'; didn't she have a role with Josey Wales years later? Morley was 'blacklisted' so gets no credit!
Pretty woman in an important role & seems very able. Notices stuff! Her line "I used to be afraid of life" .... Meaningful look at bloke!
@@nickweech3487 Yes, Nash did casting for some of the smaller roles in Josey Wales when they were filming in northern California.
@@artmoss6889 you're very knowledgeable! Oroville area wasn't it?
I always wondered, since I first saw this movie in the drive-in ,. Why did they have to climb the mountain to enter the lava vents, when they could just drill thru at sea level ? ❔ But a wonderful romp thru sci-fi!!!
They hadn't built a rock boring behicle. Just a little drill bit on the front. So they needed to find the passage way.
The drill was smaller than the diameter of the craft. Am stuck. Heres some tic tacs, advance technologies, a frayed rope, comedy classic, Loved it
Mt Neleh, huh. They should've said, "Woah, Neleh! LOL Great flick, back when our world seemed to make a little more sense. Thanks for uploading.
That Boring machine looks like my brother's dog, laying on the carpet, belly-down, dragging its rear legs straight behind, across the whole living room.
Love these old movies the first thing they discovered was "dark"
Looks like the back end of a Studebaker, Hope the turn signals work
My first thought was a " Henry J " ...
More like a model toy car with drill added to front. them 50s scientist could made anything out scrap.,
You’re aging yourself now! These kids haven’t a clue…. Lol
Lol yep
I was hoping for a naked mechanical turkey. Lol
Brilliant! And all made on a budget of less than $100 no doubt ($25 of that was to pay for the model 'boring machine'). The sort of film I watched as a kid and never once questioned the scientific aspect or thew lack of plot explanations etc. I just enjoyed them.
Look at the front of the drilling machine. The chuck key must be gigantic!
😂😂 and took 8 to lift it.
Na. It's keyless :D
I keep a little black and white TV for movies. Love these pictures.....
Their digging machine looks like a 47 Buick to me. Love these old flicks !
And tail fins like a 1957 Plymouth.
My '61 Plymouth Belvedere had fins like that.

Maybe that digging machine was built using parts from a Detroit junkyard.
I thought a early valiant
So the Tuesday night bowling team decided to make a sci fi movie, starring themselves and a hired girl. They must have been rich because a movie like this costs several hundreds of dollars to make.
All good fun these black and white films
Very shocking! The b/w feel and perspective enhances the horror of it all! Mercy me! :)
Ernest Gold composed the music ten years before he did the Exodus sound track.
Interesting
So much fun!! ❤
On the weekends my brother and I used to watch these old black and white movies on local television stations. Things even older than this like Flash Gordon. Then there was Abbot and Costello and many others. Very strange stuff to us. My kids cannot figure out why I like to watch old black and white movies. To them it would be like driving an old beat up Model T Ford.
What is wrong with a Model T? IF I could afford one it would be my daily driver!
Must have been great to live in those black&white days.
Just imagine the confusion when stepping outside and suddenly being assaulted by all these different colours.
Actually, I found it a tad annoying. I often wondered where all the color went.
Heck, I was still having an interesting time figuring out telephones. I had walked those distances- how could I ear the other person so clearly?
2500 miles deep in the ocean, that hull sure can stand some extreme pressure.
It sure beats a carbon fiber submersible huh?
@@willythewave That cracked me up, I almost imploded.
Every time I see this movie, I want a turkey sam’ich…!
And they all got the bends and died happily ever after
. . . as they were crushed by the intense pressure & burned to a crisp.
A boring story which
is not at all boring!
Quite good for a B movie.
Thank you...
Well. Worth watching this movie. Well done for the tlme it was made
Those brilliant scientists didn't think of putting a headlight on the thing?
Haha....I enjoyed seeing that they put the Folded Clothes and Flash Lights (Still turned on btw) on top of the Graves of the two guys who died in the cave from POISONOUS GAS. Why didn't they take those extra working flash lights with them??? Those two guys didn't need them anymore. Was that some sort of "Electric" Candle Light Vigil for them??? 🕯🕯🕯🕯👻👻😇
I did watch the whole thing. I'd never seen it before (and i love skinny starlets in bullet bras) but never again.
That's one helluva gopher!
Love watching these on Channel Freeview 82 Saturday 1pm.
They all start out with an atom bomb exploding. 😂
It's the 50's.😆
No sex (explicit), no profanity, and even, sometimes, no cigarettes, yet true, compelling stories, well-written and well-acted, not "posing". Thanks!
I wonder if any of these guys ever been in uncharted territory with a woman before. [ a line from "Creature From the Black Lagoon" ]
Great sci-fi film from Lippert
It's a mechanical mole machine (with sharp teeth at the nose). I don't think I want to go on the exploration. I can see a person doesn't have to be a really smart scientist if it's a Hollywood-approved cave (things appear to be possible). I was expecting them to drill into a sharp drop-off!?! But they seem to have cave highways (or low ways) to drive on (that's handy). I've been in some caves and they're not always cooperative. In real life, heavy equipment can get stuck. It does remind me of Journey to the Center of the Earth. I do like the movie, anyway! MBJR. 2-24-24 at about 2:48 A.M. Oregon Time.
Respect. Thankyou. Always
👍🏼 Good movie, thank you.
This movie caught my eye mostly because it was made in the year I was born, 1951, like another Science Fiction movie favorite of mine, "The Day the Earth Stood Still", which was also made in 1951!
Moby why did you pick to use all the 4444’s after your name?
@@dman3349 ....obviously because 4 to the 4th power multiplied by 44 divided by the distance to the moon equals 1951 you silly boy!
Where else would we come across a great Sci-Fi classic film from the 1950's with a giant earth boring manned vehicle that looks like a giant Platypus. There is an old saying if you are a good story teller, people will come far and wide to listen to what you have to say. I love old movies like this from a period in time when actors really could act and the writing was top notch.
At least they aren't rolling around in office chairs..
Opening scene- wind blast tests. Many of the crews on board the outer rim later died from radiation- they hadn't gotten a full handle on that notion when the tests were done.
The impact of radiation was figured out after a few surprising expirations.
So sad that people can’t seem to stop talking politics! Just enjoy the movie! 😊
"Journey to the Center of the Earth " won't be made into a movie until 1959.
Based on the Jules Verne story.
FJB
Both of those things are rather difficult to do.
Anyway, I do hope they find Arnie Saknussome.
I love all these sicfi movie videos to❤
MST3K crew: NO! ANOTHER LIPPERT FILM!
Good flick...Thanks.
I concur and Thank The Up-loader!!! 🥳🥳🥳🤠
Love how the scientists dress for an expedition into unknown,no boots or clothing suitable for exploration.🤣🤣🤣
"The inside of the Earth is cooler than its surface". Oh. Ok.
The Earth's core was cooler in the 50s. It's common knowledge.
I will always love black and white classic movies it's raw,,
I like how they actually ARE in a cave. They could not fake those hammer blows and the echoes. YOu're a pretty good doctor...you covered my burns with a cloth. Wow. You must have really paid attention in medical school.
Matches, those were the days, strike a match, light whatever you’re smoking and throw the match right on the ground, especially in this new found pristine area, lol.😅
Thus leaving a trail in case he gets lost,perhaps.
Right on guy loved these since l was 5
Holy smokes!! Have this on DVD, watched it a couple of days ago. Serious hoot.
Met the distributor Mr. Lippert (king of the quickies) years ago in SF.He financed Roger Corman's "Monster from the Ocean Floor".
