"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (1916) Movie
The Universal Film Manufacturing Company was not known in the silent era as premier producer of motion pictures.
Yet, in 1916 they produced a film that could not be made effectively without expensive special effects and special photography.
The novel had previously been made as short films in 1907 and in 1913 by French company. The film was remade in 1954 with Kirk Douglas and James Mason, and in 1997 as both a mini-series for TV and a made-for-TV movie.
Marshalling the expertise underwater experts Ernest and George Williamson, Universal financed the extensive production which would require location photography, large sets, exotic costumes, sailing ships, and a full-size navigable mock-up of the surfaced submarine Nautilus.Director: Stuart PatonProducer: Carl Laemmle, Stuart PatonProduction Company: Universal Film Manufacturing CompanyAudio/Visual: silent with musical score, black & whiteKeywords: Silent; DramaContact Information: www.k-otic.comCreative Commons license: Public Domain
