Before there was Austin Powers, there was the spy-spoof film "Casino Royale" (1967). Although I'm inclined to vote for "The Naked Gun" films as funnier flicks, the only redeeming quality of "Royale" is the sultry Oscar-nominated song, "The Look of Love", which is sung by the late Dusty Springfield. When you should decide to have sex with your significant other and are in need of romance music to fit the occasion, this lovely Burt Bacharach song should do nicely.

Walt Disney's biggest sea film is this wonderful adventure based on Jules Verne's famous novel. The acting, screenplay, direction, sound, and special effects are all superb. James Mason's Captain Nemo is the BEST version in cinema. The sets and costumes are all realistic and impressive. The squid battle sequence is wonderfully done even by 1950's standards and no computer graphics!! Although the movie does not adhere to the novel, it still is entertaining to watch.
A PERFECT film for families of all ages. It is even better in letterbox format.

Peter Benchley tries to build on the success of JAWS, but this is a lame film about a hunt for undersea treasure. The underwater scenes are good and Bisset looks fantastic in a wet t-shirt, but that's it. Robert Shaw is not as colorful in this film as he was in JAWS.
Pros: Underwater cinematography, Jacqueline Bisset
Cons: Story, acting, direction
