My first exposure to 20,000 Leagues, was as a kid in the late 50's at the Colony Theatre in Chicago. This was the Walt Disney version.
I have since purchased the 1916 silent version. I have to commend the movie-makers for a very well-done attempt at filming such a difficult story. The surface shots of the Nautilus looked very much like the vintage 1900's submarine, "Holland". The interior shots were, of course, stage sets. I have to comment however, on the helm-wheel-- the prop guys forgot to tighten it down!!! Also too, the first (as far as I know) underwater shots were very well done-- remarkable for the times. If anyone at all is familiar with 20,000 Leagues, and has not seen this silent version, by all means, see it--and buy it!!! One last thing--- being an avid theatre organ buff, I only wish the music was tracked in organ-- perhaps by Gaylord Carter or Lee Irwin.
Thank you. Your's, Rick
