Loosely based on the noted recent by Jules Verne and spot in the slow 19th Century, LEAGUES offers the narrative of Professor Arronax (Paul Lukas), his assistant Conseil (Peter Lorre), and harpooner Ned Land (Kirk Douglas), who are coaxed by the United States government to abet in the search for a sea monster said to be terrorizing shipping lanes. But the monster is not of flesh and blood, and soon the three salvage themselves in the hands of the mysterious Captain Nemo (James Mason) as prisoners aboard the Nautilus–a fully functional submarine edifying of ramming ships and sending them to the ocean floor.
Underwater photography was hardly recent in 1954, but never had it been weak so extensively nor to such visually fair conclude, and the art designs–particularly those for the Nautilus–are justly noted. But for all its beauty, it is the performances which fabricate the film work. James Mason does not merely play Nemo, he seems to be Nemo; after seeing his performance it is impossible to imagine any other actor in the role. Paul Lukas adds yet another brilliantly understated performance to his memorable career, and while Kirk Douglas and Peter Lorre are hardly the Ned Land and Conseil of the Verne original they have surprising chemistry and lend the film grand stir.
At the time of its release, LEAGUES was the single most expensive motion represent ever made (ironically it would loose that dubious distinction later that same year to yet another film featuring James Mason: A STAR IS BORN), and every penny of the money spent shows in the onscreen result. While many of Disney’s live-action films are fondly recalled, few have had enduring fame, mighty less claim to location as art–but LEAGUES is the exception, and although the episodic nature of the record seems a shade languid from time to time it remains both a landmark and one of the most influential films of its decade. Truly savory from begin to carry out.

GFT, Amazon Reviewer
Like many of the other reviewers of this movie, I’m a pre-boomer who was dazzled by the film as a child. Somewhere in my aging mom’s attic, I have a few bolts (painted wood) from the movie dwelling of the Nautilus, which I “borrowed” from one of the Disney properties as a kid nearly a half century ago. I remember taking a bus from LA to Burbank to study through the slats of the fence in the aid lot of the Disney Studios and seeing a partial model of the Nautilus, perhaps 1/3 scale, tossed in a corner like so remarkable debris. What I would have given to be able to sprint that model home.
When I viewed the VHS version of this film a couple of years ago, I was bitterly disappointed by the abominable quality which made the watching experience actually painful to a fan like me. But, let me sing you, this DVD is as thrilling as the VHS was painful. This fully-restored version of the film comes roaring encourage to life in all of its glory and then some. It’s the best film restoration these broken-down eyes have ever beheld. Watched on a state-of-the-art widescreen TV, this is every bit the experience it was in the ’50’s and I consider it’s astounding that this colossal film is now preserved for the ages, objective as it was when it was first released.
Is this a perfect movie? No. Even as a kid, I noticed that the background music was too cheesy, that Kirk Douglas’s songs seemed gratuitous, that the fish swimming outside the sizable porthole were cartoonish, and that the electrically-illuminated leer of the Giant Squid made an otherwise perfect special accomplish survey a bit spurious. I’m objective as puzzled by those weaknesses today as I was then, especially since all other aspects of the film, including the numerous, Oscar-winning special effects spirited the Nautilus, are masterful. But no movie is perfect and this movie, minor warts and all, is nothing less than a memorial to the genius of Disney, the acting of James Mason, the passion of the Disney staff, and the vision of Jules Verne.
