Howcome there's NEVER any live footage from the making of a Clint Eastwood film? This documentary is titled FROM PAGE TO SCREEN - most of it is interviews with the actors, with the director and clips from the film. Towards the end of it, you meet the author and the screenplay writer, but no other people. The title suggests that you will follow the story from book: through rewriting; production- & costume design; casting; photographer & director; editing and music - but NO, nothing like that. Stils from the making and mostly of them on Clint Eastwood himself. The title should have been THOUGHTS & IDEAS from the film.

I'll give it 1 point. This documentary gave me NOTHING.

What the hell is this? Michael Anderson is a good director, and has done good films in the past, but this? A giant octopus - or is it a sea monster - attacks, and the crewmen WALKS into the mouth of it and thinks they gonna survive???

And what is it with Hollywood concerning the fact, that there CAN'T be a group of men living together on a tiny area, for a long time?? In all modern versions of Jules Verne books (except Richard Fleischers version), there are some characters replaced by female versions. Do Hollywood think that ALL men are gay???

Two versions came the same year and in BOTH the professor has a daughter...

Well, Ben Cross is brilliant - as always (and 2 points for that). Richard Crenna is OK, but the rest? No, let Nautilus go to the bottom and the let crew & passengers rest in peace...

The easiest word for this film is BEST - It is the best (or one of them).

It´s Sergio Leones best film; It´s one of both Robert De Niro and James Woods best films; The soundtrack is one of Ennio Morricones best (Why did it Not get an Academy Award???).

The script and the photography is brilliant. The story is sad, but great.

And don´t miss Jennifer Connelly, who is so cute in this film.

I love it; A Masterpiece!!!
