This was often shown on television when I was younger and even though Vincent Price does rather ham it up a bit, I still quite enjoyed it. Based on Edgar Allan Poe's story, a beautiful woman (Susan Hart) is abducted and her two gallant friends - Tab Hunter and David Tomlinson set off to find and rescue her. A few secret passages and tunnels later, they discover an amazing city underneath the sea led by the not entirely rational Price ("Capt. Sir Hugh") and his ragtag crew who are facing the imminent destruction of the environment in which they have lived for a very long time. Can they rescue her and escape in time? Price - or, rather, his voice - is the star here. His thick, slightly menacing, accent as he delivers statements of doom and gloom echoing throughout their subterranean city is wonderful. There is plenty of light comedy from Tomlinson (and his duck) and the special effect department (the fun looking Sea Devils) and though Tab Hunter and Hart are really pretty wooden this colourful adventure bumps along quite well.
