Ernest Borgnine in "The Neptune Factor" (1973)

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Set in the north Atlantic, off Nova Scotia, deep deep beneath the ocean waves, Director Dr. Andrews (Walter Pidgeon) is trying to keep his Project Neptune team's oceanographic research going aboard the OceanLab II, a sea base located near a dark abyss, in spite of opposition from Foundation Head, Dr. Norton Shepherd (Ed McGibbon).
On the ocean floor, a small team of scientists led by Dr. Hal Hamilton (Michael J. Reynolds) prepare to leave their underwater laboratory, about to return to the surface, after an extended stay performing research on undersea earthquakes.
Ironically, a huge underwater earthquake interrupts the Marine scientists' plans. The undersea lab they are all living in gets hits by an earthquake, which rips the lab loose from its moorings, and the cracked sea floor sends their lab careening down the underwater mountain it was built on, and plummeting into the abyss, taking the team with it, who only have seven days of air.
Trapped too deep for divers, the only chance for the rescue of the trapped Hamilton and crew is to enlist a modern experimental U.S. Navy mini-sub to dive in an attempt to survey the damage and photograph it for insurance purposes.
The sub is piloted by the arrogant Cmdr. Adrien Blake USN (Ben Gazzara). He heads up the rescue operation, and brings along Chief Diver "Mack" MacKay (Ernest Borgnine), Diver Bob Cousins (Donnelly Rhodes), and Dr. Leah Jansen (Yvette Mimieux), Hamilton's fiancé.
But, with Mack and Jansen onboard, the mission turns into an operation to rescue the scientists. Time is of the essence.
Blake finds the lab has been ripped from its moorings and has tumbled down an unexplored, deep ocean trench, presumably intact. With the lab's reserve air supply dwindling, the team descends into the unexplored trench and finds an incredible ecosystem populated with monstrously oversized fish.
After enormous amounts of exploration they find the lab partially intact. The rescue sub makes a few exploratory test dives to assess the situation, but are discontinued once the minisubmersible encounters dangerous situations.
Dr. Jansen forces the minisubmersible to dive well below the safe depth. The submersible's journey into the unknown discovers that Sealab fell into an unexplored cave. Inside that cave are numerous realistic dangers like strong underwater currents, limited battery power, and sand.
The rescue team finally enters the cave and encounters its share of fantasy challenges, like huge prehistoric fish, and find the surviving scientists breathing from scuba tanks and fending off giant, hungry eels. Diver Moulton sacrifices his life distracting the eels in order to enable the others to be rescued. The submarine returns to the surface with the two rescued scientists.
A 1973 science fiction film also known as "The Neptune Disaster," the movie has a subtitle of "An Underwater Odyssey,' directed by Daniel Petrie, produced by Sandy Howard, the film was based on an original story by writer Jack DeWitt, featuring underwater cinematography by Paul Herbermann, starring Ernest Borgnine (“Cabbie” from ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK), an Oscar winning actor, Ben Gazzara (“Brad Wesley” from ROAD HOUSE), earned multiple Golden Globe and Emmy nods and Broadway accolades. Walter Pidgeon had two Oscar nods in his pocket; Yvette Mimieux worked consistently as one of MGM Studios’ leading contract players throughout the 1960s and made her debut in H.G Wells "The Time Machine" (1960).
Sandy Howard, a film producer from the United States, brought the idea of "The Neptune Factor" to David Perlmutter and Harold Greenberg, who chose to produce the film. Howard wanted the film to be made in the United States, but Greenberg was able to have the film shot in Canada. The Canadian Film Development Corporation contributed 10% of the film's budget under the demand that Daniel Petrie be the director.
Producer Sandy Howard consulted a large number of marine biologists, oceanographers, and ichthyologists two years prior to taking the script into production. More than forty technical consultants from the Canadian Armed Forces, the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, and the Royal Ontario Museum as well as representatives from industries involved in various aspects of the undersea world participated in the making of this film. The nature of the Oceanlab underwater facility bears a resemblance to real-world projects of the 1960s such as the ConShelf Two project of Jacques Cousteau, NASA's NEEMO, and the US Navy SEALAB. The film's special effects utilized underwater photography of miniatures with actual marine life.
TV Guide gave this Irwin Allen paint-by-numbers underwater disaster movie made by 20th Century Fox and co-released by Fox and MGM Studios, one out of 5 stars, stating that "while its underwater photography was well done, the film was predictable, the characters stereotypes and the story lacking."
The New York Times also praised the photography, but found little else of value in the film.
Enjoyable trip back in time . . . Ben, Yvette, Ernest, Walter - Rest in Peace.
Welcome.
What a drag
It looks like big pay day for all them!😅
While a sculpture student at Cal Arts in 1972, I was one of a handful of art students hired to create "rock" and "coral" forms with a foam and fiberglass guns for this movie in a warehouse in Pasadena. They had us making 3'-4' tall forms out of foam that would have taken hundreds of pounds of pull to keep from floating away. Not surprisingly, I didn't see one of them that made it into the movie. I remember the guy working on the model of the sub. It was about 12" long. it looks like they filmed the entire movie in a 50 gallon aquarium.
Even if the submarine model was “12 long do you know what a 50 gallon fluids drum looks like, that’s way too small.
Hi Ron nice you did that for that film ere when i lived in lovely Torquay in the 80ees got lucky to do film xtra work 4 times sheer fun n got payed for it real nice memory have fun n good health cheers cas in Bournemouth
The movie looks like it was filmed at the bottom of somebody’s 10 foot deep swimming pool.
POOVIES GALLUNDER IN THE DEEP WATERS OF THE SEA DADDY'O !
Dog of a movie, paid to see it in the 70's. A Canadian collage movie. Look at the credits.. Just like Billy Jack look at the credits .....
Ernest Borgnine is one of the great character actors, that has been in almost everything from western to detective shows.
41:27 Aftershock effect was sometimes better in the TV series Lost in Space.
I agree, and had the pleasure of working with him on "Escape from New York" (1981).
Borgnine must've been in about 200 movies
McHale's Navy
My husband always mentions McKales Navy from when he was a kid.I recently got to see Ernest Borgnine in this series and loved it .I'm hooked on his work.
You know he won an Oscar in 1956 for the movie "Marty." He was also in "From Here To Eternity" and "The Wild Bunch."
Rachel Welch was on that show once.
"My favorite Erenst Borgnine movies are Willard and Poisidon Adventure"!😊❤
Welcome.
Yeh. He played mean very well. Great actor.
In the TV series, Airwolf, Ernest Borgnine was also co-pilot and he was typically jerry-rigging the computer board to get Airwolf to do what Stringfellow Hawke needed, like flying cold, no electronics and using a little electricity through wires to get the weapons to pop up so String could kill the enemy.
Always love Borgnine in anything he comes out in.
Mchale's Navy with Tim Conway, was a fun series.
Santini.air loved airwolf
Welcome.
What a great old classic. Love being able to take a step back in time with a gem like this.
So do I. It makes both me and the sci-fi cinema feel so young again.
I love 70’s movies. This was classic 🎉
Welcome. I post 1970s movies here: ruclips.net/p/PLk3CReZFhoBfb1LJ4-bSy88e9TcojNh3K
Most 70s movies certainly have an atmospheric feel to them that has remained unmatched.
I’ve seen Ernest Borgnine in so many movies I just love him to pieces is so awesome. I just don’t think there’s anybody out there quite like him. Thank you for uploading.
In his retirement, Borgnine traveled about the country in a big motorhome, meeting lots of his fans. He recorded his trips, and they are available here on Y/T.
Ernest Borgnine was my favourite character from Airwoof
@@DavidRice111 i am soglad you told us that,he was a wonderful man.
Yep a classic indeed as both an actor and a man
@@DavidRice111 he did it into his 90s and only died not that long ago..
He had marble in his motor home..
Nice guy..
Ernest Borgnine was wonderful in The Poseidon Adventure and Marty.
Even Ernest's small role in Gattaca was an affirmation of how memorable he could make any role. The year after The Neptune Factor he made a comedy-drama film with Carroll O'Connor and Karen Black called Law & Disorder which was also particularly impressive.
Loved him in The Dirty Dozen
Love it over 250 metres and Ernest just gets on a diving suit and pops out for a look around you don't get pressure at that depth in the movie
Ernest Borgnine was a seasoned actor and felt no pressure.
@@catmandenny Brilliant reply, totally owned K1 😁👍
Interior of the sub could have been pressurized
Don't even start on how light it was at those depths...
That was McHale from McHales Navy. He didn't no stinking pressure suit!!😂😂😊
I remember taking a bus to downtown Vancouver to watch this. 🙂
Fond memories. Thanks for the visit!
Esse canal é um verdadeiro tesouro. Um acervo de filmes clássicos e de época que são um verdadeiro achado!
The Neptune Factor is still a particularly interesting film after many decades. Thank you for uploading it. Happy 50th Anniversary (1973-2023)
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the visit!
@@DonaldPBorchersOG You're very welcome.
Loved this movie when I was a kid👍❤😀Reminded me of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea!!😀
Interesting?
So the rescue sub will be crushed If she lets the cable release and they end up going deep. Yet he gets into a wetsuit and swims about at a depth which would crush the rescue sub…… super man….man of steel…load of bull shit. Terrible film…
Earnest Borgnine...One of the Best..my favorite Ernie Movies The Wild Bunch,,& Marty,, top shelf Actor, a Great, Great Man
Don't forget AirWolf! 🙂
@@hamshackleton Also The Dirty Dozen and Airplane.
McHale's Navy
Welcome.
They don't make Ernest Borgnines like they used to.
Got that right. I had the pleasure of working on "Escape from New York," which he appeared in. A great man.
Well said!
I agree 💯 percent and I really liked him. Also, his acting abilities
That Brother is everywhere!!
Thank goodness for fast forwarding. I saw this when it first came out 50 years ago. It hasn't improved with age.
Thanks for the visit!
What parts did you fast forward to?
A rescue mission from 50 years ago that is both entertaining and well acted. Thanks for the upload.
So strange to hear the 70s referred to as "50 years ago". To me it feels like just a few years ago!
Remember this comment in 2073, you'll get it. 😄
Welcome.
It’s hysterical. Down in the deepest abyss… there’s sunlight and no such thing as narcosis or decompression sickness. Just a swim in the pool. Thank for uploading it.
Thank you for this. It reminds me of Sunday afternoons watching a tv series called Family Classics out of Chicago many years ago. Watching this took me back to my childhood days in the 70s
Love that!
"Seen this movie 🍿 at the base theater Ft. Carson Colorado ( The Mc Mahan ) I was 14 years old. Oceanography was my first interest back then"!😊❤
A walk down memory lane. I watched movies in my teens at the base theatre in Mitchel Field, Garden City, Ling Island, New York back in the early 70s. That's where I saw "Goldfinger" for th first time.
Oh dear well at least I gave it a go …. Fast forward 50 yrs and I’m pleased to be able to still fast forward. Thanks for the upload 👍
The cheesy aquarium shots of saltwater aquarium fish ruined this otherwise mediocre movie.
Love watching these old movies with all the familiar actors again. Thanks!
You're welcome. Thanks for the visit!
First time I ever watched this movie ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️! AWESOME 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Good movie. Never heard of it before. Love it. Will rewatch it, a bunch. Thanks.
Welcome.
A total inner space experience- from 1973, when Jacques Cousteau SCUBA was more in the public eye, post Poseidon, but before the Star Wars and Star Trek mythos beginnings. Fun Sci fi from 70s. Thank you. Great cast, too.
Star Trek premiered in 1966.
@@privatebubba8876 wow. You is a rocket scientist. When making the comment about Sci fi from the 70s, I was referencing said movie that I just watched -1973, if I'm not mistaken. Referencing Star Trek, was referencing the movies that debuted in 1979, not the original series. Be an independent thinker, as opposed to a completely pathetic troll.
@@privatebubba8876 what's a few years, give or take?
Welcome.
Thanks for the excellent commentary on the film.
Glad you enjoyed it. Welcome.
A great indulgence with an all-star cast.
The effects are tremendous for a movie which was made almost 40 years ago. 😳 😊
Make that more than 50. Happy New Year!
Thanks for watching.
Still quality from all aspects. Thank you for putting this film up.❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Welcome.
Haven't seen this since ITV/LWT aired it one Saturday evening back in the late 70's. Better than I remembered it.
Welcome.
If someone made a list of the most awesome-but-misleading movie posters, The Neptune factor would surely be in the top five. That illustrated poster promised one of the most visually striking and fantastic underwater adventures in the world. What the movie showed was a miniature submarine in a fish tank. It's hilariously bad. I own the DVD because this movie was part of my childhood but it does have an option to listen to its original score and the alternate one. Still, they bring in some top talent for this movie and cheap out on the special effects?
Movie was made in 1973, perhaps limited budget, what did you expect from a movie that is 50 years old? 21st Century special effects like Marvel movies??? . Posters like that are illustrated with one thing in mind, to get you into the theatres. Remember it’s the 70’s….. 😊
Clearly, most of the budget went toward the stars' salaries.
@@redwandennaoui4508 2001: A Space Odyssey is older than this movie and looks about 1000x better.
Be fair it was 1973 ffs
@@susannah1948 2001 was made in 1968.
The title of this film was obviously inspired by The Poseidon Adventure that was still showing in theaters in 1973. They even cast Ernest Borgnine.
Thanks for the visit!
Thanks for this movie. I have never seen it or even heard of it but thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks again.
Welcome.
Fun fact, Ernest Borgnine appeared in every single low budget movie made in the 1970s.
Ha! Thanks for the visit!
Not sure, but may have seen this movie a long time ago, Just watched it again. Yeah, the special effects were a bit simplistic--miniatures in a large aquarium with the usual types of aquarium fish, and some of the fish were tropical fish, which wouldn't be found in Canadian waters, but it was still entertaining, and suitable for family viewing. I also enjoyed seeing all of those old familiar faces, especially Ernest Borganine. Thanks for posting this video!🤗⛵🌊
Welcome.
Excellent movie as far as thrillers go!! Had me biting my nails right to the end!! That's if you discount all laws of physics, marine biology, scuba diving etc etc. All in all a GREAT thriller, thanks guys, really enjoyed it!!❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a fabulous film. Well worth watching. After 50 year's this print of this film look's good just as it was made. I found the film very interesting to watch. Thank you for uploading this film. PC. 22. 03. 2023.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow, I've never heard of this. Thank you!!!!
You are so welcome!
Being probably only about 8 when i seen this in the theater its the only thing me and my friends could talk about for how long it was so cool 😎 ✌🙂
I have read that waxing nostalgic can boost mental health. Enjoy!
@@DonaldPBorchersOG I can probably verify that. Thanks.
Have always loved this film and never get tired of watching it. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
And now films are not longer done, Kodak went broke.
@@robertkat Roger that. The only thing that never changes is that things change.
There was, in the closing years of the 20th century, a very cool poster of this movie hanging in the Neptune Theater and I'd been planning to see it since then. Part of the reason I put it off for so long was because I'd heard it was a cruddy movie. But it's actually reasonably good. True, we are being asked to imagine that sea creatures are bigger than the ship, instead of being forced to that conclusion with special effects. But there's nothing wrong with using your imagination to help your fantasy along. If you let it go it can take you farther than any computer generated effect ever could.
In a sense, the movie is almost spookily prescient. It shows marine organisms which have grown unusually large in an area warmed by volcanic activity, which is something that actually exists, but wasn't discovered until six years after this movie was made. Granted, hydrothermal vents don't cause ordinary coral reef organisms to grow to gigantic size, but they do provide the energy that allows tube worms with symbiotic sulfur-reducing bacteria to grow far bigger than ones found elsewhere, as well as permitting the existence of an entire community of organisms that are completely independent of the sun.
@@graemesmith6721 I hadn't even thought of that. Thanks for pointing it out. I'm not sure I'd heard about the phenomenon before or not.
"Some movie goers back I the day said Star Wars sucked" but everyone has different tastes "! This movie still would have done well without the giant sea creatures, just dealing with the sea elements and science facts made the movie excited enough"!😊❤❤❤
Welcome.
I don't envy the neurotic stress it must have taken to film an entire movie underwater half a century ago, when I know the pain of just trying to get a 10 second, C Camera, underwater pool shot today!!
I agree with you. I can only imagine. But, that was Sandy. He loved an adventure.
@@DonaldPBorchersOG, interesting. No one would even do it today, between; cost, safety and VFX.
Yes. With exception of an artist. I mean, I could totally see Guillermo del Toro doing this to direct a LOCH NESS monster movie.
@@DonaldPBorchersOG, maybe call it "H20 World", or better yet, maybe something like "Waterworld"?!!
@@theAxehound Sandy Howard was my mentor. He taught me all about titles. His working title was, "An Underwater Odyssey." But after he cast Ernest Borgnine, Ben Gazzara, Walter Pidgeon, and Yvette Mimieux there was more money to be made overseas by positioning it not as an adventure movie (think 20,000 leagues) but as an International suspense thriller. And the final title delivers on that marketing strategy in spades. But even after that decision was made, "The Neptune Disaster" was the first title. It did not do the job and was immediately replaced. I made "Voodoo" because Sandy told me that was a great title he never got around to.
I saw this movie theatrically in Hollywood right upon its release. It was a huge experience for me. And looking at just the ffirst 5 minutes of it now, in April 2023, this film is markedly better than 99% of the Hollywood garbage being heaped upon us now. Particularly the custom scube tanks and headgear, that was decades ahead of its time when the film was made in 1972-73. Notice, for instance, the app. 12-inch antanna sticking out of the headsets. So, walkie-talkie communication whilst underwater. This was truly cutting edge in the early 1970s.
On your comment I’m gonna watch this. …It better be good. Or expect a knock on your door. 😂

I like how The Neptune Factor doesn’t need to be as advanced as The Abyss to be an effective undersea adventure with a sci-fi twist.

Hi Donald! I remember this movie from my youth! Good movie with a solid cast. Walter Pigeon was a superb actor with great quite a resume. I have seen footage of him that taints my enjoyment of his films. He was apparently Proactive (heavily involved) with the McCarthy hearings in the 1950’s! He even went so far as to name names before the infamous committee. My understanding is that he was instrumental in the ruination of a number of his fellow actors. If anyone has more or different information on this subject, I would be interested.
Thank you Donald for the movie 🍿! I really enjoyed it ! Am subscribing now 😊. Frances
Walter Pigeon was on the Original, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, he was Admiral Nelson before Richard Basehard. This movie reminded me of that series, loved it as a kid.👍❤
Yep, Hollywood still reels.
Hi Randy, one of my all time favorite movies! Barbara Eden, and I can’t remember the name of the famous actor who played Nelson’s friend…he played a lot of villainous roles…. What a great cast. Great story too. Frances
Oh and Randy, you can watch full episodes for free on RUclips!
Hi Susan, so I’m correct that he actively participated? I guess it is wishful thinking. He was in so many of my favorite movies. Thanks for the reply. Frances
A movie like this in the 70's? He made a great impression on me I always remembered him And now you can come back to him Thank you very much greetings
Welcome.
A couple of interesting facts about Borgnine.
1) Up until at least late in his career he had never appeared in a film that lost money.
2) For years he had a standing gig as the Master of Ceremonies for the annual Milwaukee Circus Parade.
AND~ In his retirement, Borgnine traveled about the country in a big motorhome, meeting lots of his fans. He recorded his trips, and they are available here on Y/T.

Glad to hear it!
I have been wracking my brain since 2020 Covid onset to remember the title of this film as I too saw it only once and in the cinema when it was released when I was also about 8.
All I could remember was the sub and the face of an actor who’s name I couldn’t remember.
Then, thanks to YT algorithm and after watching a Cavett interview of 4 directors in 1972, I see another interview available of Cassavetes Gazzara and BAM! That’s him !!!!
Why I couldn’t remember his name is embarrassing.
This all happened in the last few hours.
And well here I am. Gonna watch it at bedtime today.
Thanks very much, Mr. Borchers, and for your fun comments in here.
“The Neptune Disaster” LMAO
Hope you enjoy it and glad your brain I no longer being wracked. I try hard with my comments. Thanks for your support!

One of Borgnine's lesser known performances was in the Broderick Crawford film, "The Mob". He made a good villain. He was a lot younger then.

Welcome.
Yes, you have to love Ernest Borgnine. Remember the Poseidon adventure. And then there’s Cliff Robertson. Watch the movie Charlie it will blow you away. He is amazing. I think that was his best performance. Based on the book flowers for Algernon.
This was exactly what happened in Jun 2023,when the submersible,titanic ,went missing with 5 people on board!sadly those people did not survived.This movie went far beyond its time!Incredible!!
I have just finished watching the film and I have to say that I enjoyed it ,as the first time I had seen it I thought it was quite good.
Welcome.
A good watch, with clever extreme closeups of fish in a fish tank to make them look threatening.
This film is a bit close to comfort in 2023, as their submersible looks very similar to the Titan which imploded earlier this year taking the lives of all five on board. And even the mothership had the name 'Triton', which is similar to 'Titan'.
RIP all those who died on the real Titan submersible - they were looking at the wreck of the Titanic.
My thoughts exactly.
Roger that. Thanks for watching.

Welcome.
Ernest Borgnine and Yvette Mimieux were also in THE FIFTH MISSILE (1986), a well done doomsday thriller that was based on THE GOLD CREW, a novel written by Frank M. Robinson and Thomas N. Scortia. UPDATE: I got through watching THE FIFTH MISSILE in May, 2023 and Ernest Borgnine was NOT in that 1986 television movie. It remains a suspenseful thriller despite its low budget.
I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Borgnine in St. Louis on John Carpenter's "Escape from New York". He was Legend.
@@DonaldPBorchersOG I don’t doubt that Ernest Borgnine had stories to tell. Did you work with John Carpenter on ESCAPE FROM L.A.?
@@thomastarwater2989 No. I originally worked on THE FOG as the Production Accountant.
@@DonaldPBorchersOG When THE FOG hit the silver screen, I saw it while stationed overseas in what was then West Germany. A pal of mine had seen it, and couldn’t resist saying “Arrrrrrrrr” repeatedly for the next couple of months.
I first saw Ernest Borgnine and Yvette Mimieux in The Black Hole. In retrospect, The Neptune Factor was the better sci-fi film for both of them together.
It reminds me of "Fantastic Voyage" some..
