Isla Misteriosa y el Capitán Nemo, La (1973, SPA/ITA/FRA) C-105m. ** D: Jaun Antonio Bardem, Henri Colpi. Starring Omar Sharif, Ambroise Bia, Jess Hahn, Philippe Nicaud, Gérard Tichy, Rik Battaglia, Jean Lefebvre, Gabriele Tinti. Low-grade adaptation of Jules Verne's L'Ile Mystérieuse (the fifth film version), about five Americans who narrowly escape from prison in a balloon and end up on a seemingly deserted island. Little do they know that Captain Nemo (Sharif) is ruling a subterranean empire there. Unconvincing, but not bad, an okay timekiller for kids. Edited down from 6-part TV series. English titles: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND OF CAPTAIN (or DR.) NEMO, THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.
