Journey to the Center of the Earth
-- Enjoyable adventure from the Jules Verne fantasy set in 1880 Iceland where a Scottish scientist (James Mason), his student assistant (Pat Boone), a Swedish widow (Arlene Dahl) and a local guide (Peter Ronson) descend through a network of caves leading to a vast ocean at the earth's core from which they return to the surface through an Italian volcano. Director Henry Levin paces the subterranean excitements -- cave-ins, giant reptiles, the lost city of Atlantis and a sinister interloper (Thayer David) -- with some wry humor, imaginative sets and plenty of convincing special effects. Lively family entertainment. A-I (br)
