Sci-Fi Classic Review: VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA (1961)

Though we think of him today more for his 70's disaster films, Irwin Allen did quite well in the early sixties with a few science-fiction films, the most successful of which was Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

If you're looking for a "review" in the traditional sense, then let me just say I love this movie. This video, however, is a "review" in the literal sense (using the Miriam-Webster definition "a retrospective view or survey"), in that I'm going over the history of the film and its place in sci-fi cinema history.

In other words, please stop commenting on how my videos aren't what you consider "reviews."
