by Richard Fleischer
Fascinated by the story of JULES VERNE , WALT DISNEY wanted to draw a cartoon film, but very detailed tables by the designer HARPER GOFF convinced him that it was possible to make a credible film but with real actors. At that point she was called to sit in the control room Richard Fleischer, who had made some moderately successful films: Fleischer, the son of one of the biggest "rivals" for Disney, was surprised by the choice and had to ask the creator of Mickey if he knew who he was, and the largest producer of animated films of all time said that he knew, and that the director seemed more appropriate to achieve the task. For the role of Captain Nemo, Disney wanted the British actor Ralph Richardson while after hearing of GREGORY PECK, was hired JAMES MASON , while Professor Arronax was called CHARLES BOYER, but declined to commitments precedentemente.La part so he went to PAUL LUKAS . Peter Lorre said in an interview that he thought he had been called to interpret the giant squid. The output was enormous: the sets had to ask Disney to Universal and 20th Century Fox. For the underwater scenes, were used in the seabed of the Bahamas, where they had already been filmed scenes in the 1916 version, with 400 crew members. During the scene of the excursion on the sea, a shark is not planned: the appearance of the animal was left by the director because the vision-testing the audience excited. KIRK DOUGLAS, in ascending phase in his career as a star, he wanted entry into the scene of his character was male, although the film was addressing an audience of young, and it shows two women embracing, one on each side . This he happened a couple of times, it "The Vikings" and "War Wagon" . The scene of the battle with the giant squid was originally scheduled on calm seas and a sunset in the background: the director Fleischer, however, believed that the cables and the tools used to animate the creature risk of being seen, making false opinion on everything . While Walt Disney visited the set one day this Fleischer did his fears for the producer, who had the idea of \u200b\u200bsetting the scene during a violent storm so the scene was filmed, and is among the most beloved moments of the film.
