You didn't flip for 'The Deadly Dolls' with Vincent Price? Definitely Emmy material. But seriously, i was 6 when VTTBS first aired and 10 when it ended. I LOVED that it was, as you say, a live action cartoon.
"the enemy below" (1957)..."run silent, run deep" (1958)..."the Bedford incident" (1965)... i appreciate these old classics, even "operation Pettycoat" (1959) :)
Another great in-depth review. No comment about the intention of the pun. I didn't see this movie until it came out on television. That was after the series was in full swing. This was a disadvantage since I knew Admiral Nelson was the good guy. This may be an advantage to younger people who might not be familiar with the series. The opening theme song was out of character with the movie. That wasn't unusual at the time. David Hedison was also reluctant to play in the TV show. He explained in a show when he learned Richard Baseheart was going to be on the show that changed his mind. There wsa an episode of the series that had a similar plot. It had another interesting moral question. In that episode the heat affected only the Southern Hemisphere. Write of the Southern Hemisphere or try to solve the problem and risk losing the rest of the world? Irwin Allen used many of the clips from the movie in the series.
VTTBOTS, This was the television show that really fired my sci fi imagination as a child. I remember going to the cinema to see this movie afterwards and being disappointed that none of the television actors were in it, apart from Kowalski, or Kowski as he was called in the film. But the Seaview was and is still an amazing creation. A seven year old was not aware that this film actually came first lol. They redid this film as an episode of the series as well, Irwin Allen was never one to waste footage was he lol.
I was the same - I thought the movie came after the TV show! In my defence I did see it at the local cinema after I had seen the tv show. Must have been the second movie in a double bill Saturday afternoon matinee 😄
Enjoy your channel you have a really good speaking voice and do a great job with your reviews. Love the older sci-fi movies. When Worlds Collide, Mysterious Island and The Day The World Split in Two. List goes on and on.
Glad you pointed out just how "roomy" the submarine is! We love ourselves some good submarine action to be sure, and Randle in particular loved the 90's TV series seaQuest featuring it's own sub ahead of it's time 😃
I did love seaQuest back in the day, but it got very silly by the end of the second season, and then, well, it's best not to talk too much about the third season.
@@TheUnapologeticGeek You're not wrong! Season 1 was the standard they should have kept to instead of leaning hard I to Star Trek style Sci-fi. Really alienated (pun intended) their fans with a lot of season 2 storylines!
Joan Fontain's character winds up being a spy. At the end she gets done in by Peter Lorries pet shark. Ever notice that the SEAVIEW is painted in shark colors. She's grey on top and white on the bottom.
In defense of the set designers, the sets needed to be designed in a way that allowed the camera to move around. The Steadicam wouldn't be invented until the 1980s, making it possible to film "Das Boot" inside a real submarine. They had the same problem in Star Trek.
I watched the series as a child and didn't know there was a movie until I saw it around the age if 16 (1976) or so. Have seen the movie several times since then. An absolute classic!!
I couldn't have been more than six years old the first and only time I saw this movie, and almost all I remember about it was the image of the ring of fire around the Earth. I was too young to know that the idea of the Van Allen belts catching fire was beyond silly. That image scared me to death. To this day, I find something eerie and seemingly unnatural about images of Saturn, and this film is probably what put that reaction there.
I never understood how people crawled thru the air ducks. If thay had to seal off part of the ship because of flooding how did that seal the air ducks?
I remember enjoying the TV series as a kid, but I never even knew it came from a movie! Just a few years too young I suppose - I was about 11 when the TV series started in the UK, assuming it took a couple of years for it to come over here, after it started in the USA in 1964.
Fun video; I need to look at this one again. Favorite fantasy submarine movie? Still 20,000 LEAGUES, but I would be willing to say that a comparison with this one is apples and oranges. Having served aboard a submarine, it never ceases to amuse me how much space Old Hollywood thought submarines to have.
In Hollywood’s defence, I would think a higher priority would be fitting the big ol clunky camera and lighting rigs into the space so they can get the shot!
I have always enjoyed this movie and thought of it as a bit more involving than other Sci-Fi movies even if the science is way off. Love the cast and sets. Another, scientifically off movie that I think is great and fun is "Crack in the World".
The Unapologetic Geek _Crack in the World_ is interesting in that it tried to be fairly accurate in its geology, but the entire field was undergoing a revolution in its basic theory while it was being made, so by the time it came out its basic premise was completely outdated.
A good & fun sci-fi popcorn 🍿 movie. Enjoyable especially when we were younger. The TV show was watchable as well. Season 1 was cold-war themed episodes & in black and white. Season 2 -6 tended to be a little goofy with monsters of the week, but still appealing & in vivid color.
If you were only familiar with Irwin Allen's reputation as someone who peddled campy sci-fi shows like what Voyage itself became as a TV series (let alone Lost in Space), it is perfectly understandable why you might have thought the movie was equally silly or otherwise not worth watching. But his movies were a much different thing from his TV shows, though as a kid I loved them too (especially Time Tunnel).
@@robertstehle2529 I looked, but couldn’t find either of them anywhere. I did discover that Hulu made a TV show out of Das Boot. I can’t imagine it’s as good as the movie!
Perhaps my favorite sci-fi movie and t.v. show next to Star Trek.Saturday night ME T.V. is Irwin Allen night.On the movie and t.v. black&white the Seaview had two row of windows. On the color, it had one row of windows.One thing, if the monster was on it, it would be on Lost in Space.The same sets would be on Batman, and Land of the Giants.
😂May 20th was David Hedison's birthday. He would be 96 now. And he would get a kick out of how popular it still is after 60 years. Iwish someone would have rebooted it. It was one of the most popular sci-fic series during the 60's. It lasted 4 years and might have lasted longer if it had some better scripts. It even lasted longer than the orinal Star Trek (3 yrs). Anyway Happy Birthday Skipper. May there be Sro on your stage in Heaven. RIP.😂 12:06
Saw the movie when it came out absolutely loved it watched it every time it came on TV The show got progressively weirder with silly monsters and aliens and sank in 68
WOW you got it right on the nose! Yep, this will always have as place in my heart. When I watched this as a kid it really pushed my imagination. Like Robotech later on! The acting is great and the plot is wonderful. Ignoring the cheesey effects,. It was early sci-fi, CGI want a thing for decades to come. But on a large screen it was amazing!
I absolutely loved this film and subsequent TV show as a kid in fact it was my no1 show then i discovered Star Trek as a 6 year old in 1971 when they started to show it here in Britain and that was it. The Sea View submarine is i think one of the most beautiful ships in Science fiction and as you pointed out so spacious, nearly so much so as the inside of J. J. Abrams enterprise ! I think my favourite submarine film is The Enemy Below.
I've always loved that romantically arranged theme song of that movie...quite different from the TV series. That theme was more like a honeymoon voyage, rather than a save the world adventure!
There is a late 1950s TV program called "The Silent Service." It is dramatizations of American submarine patrols against Japan during World War II. The series was produced by a rear admiral who won two Navy Crosses during World War II. It's on UA-cam; unfortunately, it's not on DVD (alas). I think it's worth a look.
It's the flying mini sun why I loved thr series that got my attention.to get me ti like the series more ,and just like Iike David hedison a lot. Richard Basehart..I liked a lot sometimes he over Done some scenes but it Wasn't him it was the script that done. IT I'm watching it again on METV late Saturday sci-fi with lot of other shows my. Dad didng let me see other occaisional . So only time I get to see any was when my Dad was either at bowling alley nite or out of town trips. And star trek was most favorite it was on his bowling nite. I had forgotten that first season of voyage tv series was black and white which. Hard for me to watch then color even I grew up with it. So when voyage first came on as movie and first series I was too young to even see any of it since I was born in 1959. Was only 5 yrs old in 1964, so I don't remember much shows at that low age. I Had to be 6 7 8 to remember much
Enjoyed yr review. Saw Voyage movie summer 1961 at neighborhood cinema. I'm big Allen fan mostly the Voyage TV show . The movie was a bit silly in places. Over all decent film. TV show started out well high production values first 2 yrs but Allens frugal ways of saving money, budget cuts, silly scripts and over use of stock footage hurt it.
This movie is kinda similar to another film from 20th Century Fox, called "Monsters of the Deep", which was released a year later in 1962. Note: "Monsters of the Deep" doesn't exist, it's made up. But, if it did exist, it would have reused sets from this movie ("Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea").
Back in the mid Sixties my family was visiting my Grandfather. He was out back BBQing lamb chops. He came in for a brief drink and started watching Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea on the TV show. He burned the chops. Then he complained about you kids and your damn TV programs. Family Lore.
I first saw this on TV, after first watching the TV series, which I really enjoyed. However, I think I then preferred Stingray on TV (pre-Thunderbirds) which I think was shown on Australian TV a year before VTTBOTS aired here, a year or more after it had gone to air in the US (as was normal then). As for my favourite submarine movie, definitely Das Boot.
Off topic but I am curious-- many UA-cam content creators ask us to click Like for their video at its very start. This doesn't make sense to me; suppose a viewer finishes the video and realizes s/he did not enjoy it. I don't know if there is a way to switch from Thumbs Up to Thumbs Down, unless you just press the other icon and that reverses it. Anyway, regarding VTTBOTS ... it's a fun albeit grandiose widescreen adventure movie of its time. I have it on a double feature DVD with Fantastic Voyage. The cast twinkles with big stars. Irwin Allen was a showbiz figure whose cinematic output I'd usually find loads of fun as a kid whenever his movies would be shown on the olde timey dial teevee set (and the same goes for George Pal and his charming fantasy or sci-fi films). I never watched the TV series, and I think I'm going to dive in and explore. 😋
I’ll tell you a secret. The algorithm doesn’t differentiate between a like and a dislike. It’s all engagement. Only us UA-camrs with fragile egos pay attention to the ratio.
@@TheUnapologeticGeek You needn't have a fragile ego. We love you and your videos. Honestly, I assume you're a young fella, and yet you seem to always have respect for entertainment from decades ago. That's appreciated.
Like "Fantastic Voyage" I've always enjoyed this film. The effects--with exceptions like the trash bag giant squid--are pretty good. There is some cringey early 60's nonsense but I love the cast; I swear Lorre ad-libbed some of his lines: "Oh, he irritates me." and "Hey, 6 hours...that pretty good. What do you think, Connors?" The film has a very impressive 4-track stereo mix as well.
The DVDs lof the tv series include interviews with David Hedison. He was very clear that he turned down playing Capt. Crain in the film because he didn't want to work for Irwin Allen again. He so disliked the experience of The Lost World he was done with him. When the series came along Irwin wouldn't take no for an answer and Hedison gave in. No doubt he needed the work at the time. Richard Basehart was very frank in contemporary interviews that he only took the job in the series because he was broke. His ex wife Valentina Cortese had taken him to the bank in their recent divorce.
A couple corrections: Robert Sterling did not play Topper on the 50s TV series, he played George Kirby. Irwin Allen didn't direct Poseidon Adventure or The Towering Inferno.
I just watched a short about how poorly women are written in sci-fi. It was hilarious. I am going to watch this film and see how many points I can check off.
Very good review. Intelligent, yet "morally ambiguous"😮. Much of what I've learned, I've learned from Irwin's productions. Did you mention Howard McNear, on his way to Mayberry, via nuclear sub? Nice way to go for a barber ...
There's a hole... There's a hole... There's a hole in the bottom of the sea! That song has nothing to do with either the movie or television series, but I always find myself humming it after a viewing, so I hope you're proud of yourself!
Huge fan of all things Voyage! I had a very impressive collection related to the tv series. I even met and talked to Barbara Eden ( briefly) and got an autographed pic of her standing next to the mini-sub in just a bra and panties!
You do know they edited out the part where one of them said in the movie that you can’t get past the “Van Allen Belts” that’s why nobody can get to the moon!!! 🌈🕊🆙🕊🌈
This film was OK. This film and "When Worlds Collide" have the same plot point. Disagreement among the scientists. A true scientist should leave their ego and emotions out of the evaluation of the data.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA TV Series starred Richard Basehart, who was also in Moby Dick.
I really enjoyed the movie. The TV series started off good but then became a silly live action cartoon.

lol..
The Bedford Incident was very underrated, its political undertone may have been offputing to some
Barbara Eden! What an absolute gem
My favorite submarine movies are "The Hunt For Red October" and "Ice Station Zebra" (with "Operation Petticoat" thrown in for comedy relief!)
I am old enough to remember this in the theater. It was one of the things which got me interested in science fiction.
Irwin Allen. A visionary genius.

While not science fiction, my favorite submarine movie is “The Hunt for Red October.“
It *is* a great submarine movie!
Gotta admit, I just can't get past "A belt of charged particles outside the atmosphere is burning but we can put it out with a nuclear missile."
Some these episodes are clearly fantasy though. Like the one with the dolls.
The lost world, wow that was a Monday funday flashback for me. My parents had the on vhs
*gypsy voice* RICHARD BASEHART!?!?!?
