Shirley Eaton made this adventure film right after Goldfinger, and David McCallum, right after Man from UNCLE, so both were in their prime. Throw in Brian Kelly from Flipper and what's not to love? I saw this movie at the Saturday matintee (along with King Kong vs Godzilla, Our Man Flint and a bunch more) and loved it. I wish they would release this one on DVD.

By all means buy it!
This is a wonderful movie, with everything in it for everyone. An All-Star cast with an action story.
The story is as timeless as todays headlines. About the search for the perfect group of scientists with the perfect plan to unite the world in the prediction of undersea earthquakes. A series of undersea detectors planted on the ocean bottoms take you "Around the World Under the Sea".
This is a movie for 'today' because of its accurate predictions of tsunamis, undersea volcanoes, flooding and global warming.
I was privledged in working with one of Ivan Tors film editors years ago at a television station here in Cleveland!
I have a widescreen DVD copy of the movie along with its original soundtrack and "Its behind the scenes making" courtesy of TCM.
Turner shows the movie on occassion with scenes from "Flipper and other Ivan Tors features.
But if you like adventure, scuba diving, Lloyd Bridges, "Goldfingers" Shirley Bassey, Keenan Wynn or "Man From Uncle" David McCallum this movie has it all and beautifully photographed.
...now will they ever release it on DVD?
see it and explore the wonders!

Great clean adventure movie for any age. The process of collecting the crew was probably some of the best scenes, but the music and videography was great. Campy monster, but otherwise believable.

The last time I saw this movie I was in my teens and I'm almost sixty now.
The transaction was good the item arrived in a timely manner, but the print was about 5 out of 10 in quality. It's a terrific movie and someone needs to remaster it and make a good print. Marginal underwater scenes don't hold a lot of entertainment value.

This is a great undersea adventure as a Submarine searches the world's ocean floors planting sensors for possible earthquakes starring Lloyd Bridges, Brian Kelly and Shirley Eaton,it's truly a great undersea,adventure classic!!

...briefly, for now, i give this a 2.5 rating for entertaining action cuz its boring/plain except for the cinematography, letterbox format, the few on surface explosions & moray eel.
