There was neither a heroine nor a villain in Jules Vernes 1864 novel Journey to the Center of the Earth, but scenarist Charles Brackett evidently knew what he was doing by adding both to the 1959 film version. The picture proved to be a significant success in an otherwise disappointing year for 20th Century-Fox. James Mason stars as amusingly absent-minded professor Oliver Lindenbrook, whose first step on a fabulous journey is prompted by a lump of lava brought to him by his student Alec McEwen (Pat Boone--and, yes, he gets to sing). Melting down the curiously composed lump, Lindenbrook discovers a hastily scrawled message from long-lost explorer Arne Saknussen, with directions for reaching the earths core. Accompanied by Carla Goeteberg (Arlene Dahl), widow of a famed geologist, and Icelandic guide Hans (Peter Ronson) Lindenbrook and Alec head down, down below. They are closely followed by the villainous Count Saknussen (Thayer David), descendant of the lost explorer who wrote the directions; the Count hopes to use Lindenbrooks discoveries for his own personal and political gain (we know hes really bad when he eats Hans lovable pet goose). What follows is a festival of superb special effects, fabulous subterranean sets, and gigantized reptiles posing as dinosaurs, all brilliantly accompanied by Bernard Herrmanns ominous musical score. Journey to the Center of the Earth would later be adapted into a Saturday morning cartoon series, again produced by 20th Century-Fox. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
