Many films have been based on Jules Verne's classic novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth", but few have been as masterfully done as this 1959 Disney production. The film is a faithful adaptation, even including some of the original dialogue from the book. Unlike today's films, which almost always take place in space or on other planets, this story takes place entirely within our own world. This film also reflects a time when Hollywood wasn't too interested in depicting science and scientists as being infallible and all-knowing - because Verne wrote his novel at a time when science was still largely an unknown terrain for many people. The movie begins with the narrator, who is accompanied by background music so that we can visualize his story - something that today's filmmakers would probably never do. The narrator tells us of a professor who had often related to his students how Jules Verne's novel inspired him to become a scientist and how he always wanted to travel to Iceland and prove that the center of the Earth exists. We're then introduced to Professor Oliver Lindenbrook (Jock Mahoney) and his fiancée Ann (Kathleen Crowley), who live in Washington, D.C., and they're attending a science conference when they come across Dr. Gideon Sundback (Peter Ronson), an old friend of Lindenbrook's from Iceland. Sundback tells Lindenbrook that he's been waiting for him to come to Iceland for years, and Lindenbrook replies that he would have come a long time ago if the professor in his class hadn't read about it in a book. Sundback then says that he believes there was a mistake in the translation of the ancient Icelandic manuscript - because when Dr. Lindenbrook published his paper on radioactive materials, which is exactly what Sundback was searching for, he knew it could lead him to the center of the Earth. The professor and the doctor get to talking, and Sundback explains that he believes there is a radioactive material, which the Vikings used in the 9th Century to kill their enemies and which could be buried in a volcano known as Mt. Hekla. He believes that if he can find this material, it could lead him to the center of the Earth. Lindenbrook then makes a deal with Sundback: If he'll provide him with enough money for an expedition so that Lindenbrook can prove his theory about radioactive materials, then Lindenbrook will accompany him on the trip. On arrival in Iceland, the two men find a hotel where they stay, and they immediately get to work. Soon, they begin to dig into the ground, and they find a box containing a manuscript from the 13th Century. The professor breaks the seal on the box and begins reading it aloud: "In a few short days the full moon will be visible above Mt. Hekla. It will be a white moon that bears no resemblance to any moon that we have seen before. cfa1e77820
