Customer Reviews

Calamari with Cheerios attached – a San Francisco treat.

“For centuries, the mind of man has learned comparatively little of the mysteries of the heavens above – or the seas below” “Since the coming of the atomic age, man’s knowledge has so increased that an upheaval of nature would not be beyond his belief.” It is 1955, and the atom sub looks just like a WW2 diesel (at least it does not look like a cardboard mockup). A thing or things that are chasing the latest sub are unknown; let us say that “It Came from Beneath the Sea.” Standard sci-fi for the time, we have the obligatory romance between the captain, Cmdr. Pete Mathews (Kenneth Tobey) from “The Thing from Another World” (1951), and Prof. Lesley Joyce (Faith Domergue) from “This Island Earth” (1955). What a ménage à trois and Prof. John Carter (Donald Curtis) from several "Science Fiction Theater" (1955-1957) TV episodes. I love sci-fi from this time because they inevitably depend on flame throwers to do the trick, as in “The Deadly Mantis” and “Them!” Naturally, no one believes them until they get eaten. Others think they have the situation in hand. Will we be able to manage “IT”? And will there be a next time? Six tentacle monsters by Ray Harryhausen; “Clash of the Titans” (1981). Screenplay by Hal Smith and George Worthing Yates. Faith Domergue, what more could one ask for?
