“Dandy fantasy adventure, done with great skill and imagination, keyed by a fine Bernard Herrmann score, a pip of this kind.”
—The New York Times

“It should thrill the gee-whillickers out of anybody." —Time Magazine

Mysterious Island (1961) – Jules Verne’s sequel to his own “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” – is brought to the screen in spectacular fashion by director Cy Endfield (Zulu) and special effects master Ray Harryhausen (Jason and the Argonauts), who weave the adventure-packed tale of a motley crew of Civil War escapees and shipwreck victims cast away on a remote Pacific isle. There they encounter the redoubtable mad genius, Captain Nemo (Herbert Lom), and the startling products of his scientific experiments: gigantic creatures of every description, all crafted with that special brand of Harryhausen magic. Presented in a pristine new transfer, with Bernard Herrmann’s superlative score featured as an isolated track.
