Hi Larry! Thank you very much! (Spacibo ochen bolshoi!) In addition to my passion for all things aquatic (and submarines in particular), learning languages...
Hi Pat, I orignially saw a B&W photo in Famous Monsters of Filmland Magazine. In my memory, I thought the caption said the design was by H.R. Giger...on a...
Thanks Larry. Once I have the sketch and know what the hat looks like, I'll check around to see if I can get some pics. (I know some folks in Germany and...
The one thing that I don't care for in the James Mason version of 20,000.00 Leagues, and most of the subsequent adaptations, is the inaccurate naval clothing...
I'm not sure about your meaning of inaccurate naval clothing with respect to the Disney story, Liz. Inasmuch as Nemo and his crew were not affiliated with any...
Hello Wayne, I'm not sure if photos in e-mail is allowed on this group, but here goes . . . .below is a woodcut drawing from the Verne novel. It's clear in...
It's entirely possible that Nemo repurposed cloth (and clothing) from shipwrecks -- either that or he discovered a fabric he could create from unknown types of...
... Hi Liz from what version of the novel? There are woodcut looking illustrations around that were done a century after the book was published. These ...
Dear fellow group members, Some of you may be familiar with the National Film Registry. If not, this is an annual list of 25 American movies that are at least...
Hi Larry! Consider it done, along with another "real" vs. "reel" historical film, Warner Bros. The Spirit of St. Louis. Thanks for letting us know.... Doug ...
I want to thank Doug, Jeff, Rich, and all the people who have taken a moment to sent an email to the National Film Registry to get 20,000 LEAGUES onto the...
Yes, the woodcuts of Nemo are from the 1871 Hetzel edition, so you're right, Verne probably didn't approve. But let me quote from the novel concerning the...
Yes, you are correct. See my other note for Nemo's description of the materials he used for clothing. And so, this is why I find the clothing James Mason...
... Hi Liz from what version of the novel? There are woodcut looking illustrations around that were done a century after the book was published. These probably...
Thank you so much Brian, for the links to these illustrations. There are many there that I have never seen before for 20,000 Leagues. It's a pity our books...
My slant on the Disney version is that it just wasn't tied that closely to the book's Nemo. If Nemo was that set against any goods made on dry land, he...
Ad Tagline: His goal was Atlantis - but first he must conquer the menace of the depths! I thought you all would get a kick out of this. Here's the trailer...
I saw this as a kid, therefore I saw nothing wrong with it. ;-) Has an Indian actor ever played Nemo? Jewel in the Crown's Derrick Branche, for example,...
In a message dated 06/01/2008 4:14:58 AM Eastern Daylight Time, ... Wasn't the actor who played Nemo in "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" Indian ? [Non-text...
Yes, you're right, Naseeruddin Shah, born in Delhi, India is probably the first Indian actor to play Captain Nemo, as far as I know. Liz In a message dated...
All, A day off today. Caught an interesting show on the History Channel this morning about Jules Verne, entitled "International Profile." It echoed some...
A few years ago, quite by chance, I came across a marvelous book entitled, "Monturiol's Dream: The Extraordinary Story of the Submarine Inventor Who Wanted To...
Has anyone seen the resemblance of Drebbel's submarine to the Nautilus (of "20,000 Leagues under the Sea")? A Navy friend sent me the link for the Drebbel...
Yes, he would be good as Nemo. I wonder if Sam Raimi is still interested in making that re-make of 20,000 Leagues that was proposed. If so, I wish he would...
