CAPTAIN NEMO AND THE UNDERWATER CITY-1969-In this British sequel to Disney’s 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, Captain Nemo (Robert Ryan) has built an underwater city called “Templemere”. While roaming the sea in his submarine The Nautilus he and his crew rescue a group of people who’s ship was wrecked in a storm. Chuck Connors is a US senator who wants Nemo to share is fantastic technology with the world. Nanette Newman is the head strong female survivor with a small son. Bill Fraser (RUMPOLE OF THE BAILEY) and Kenneth Connor (’ALLO ’ALLO) are two gold hungry brothers who provide comedy relief. Alan Cuthbertson is a claustrophobic engineer who starts trouble. It’s pretty boring and Ryan is fairly catatonic as Nemo. Luciana Paluzzi (THE GREEN SLIME) is Mala who provides the love triangle with Connors and Nemo’s jealous first mate (John Turner).
Director James Hill previously made BORN FREE (and it’s sequel) and A STUDY IN TERROR.
