La isla misteriosa y el capitán Nemo


L'Ile Mysterieuse / La Isla misteriosa y el capitán Nemo / Die Geheimnisvolle Insel is a 1973 European film adapted from Jules Verne's 1875 novel L'Île mystérieuse. This version was directed by Juan Antonio Bardem and Henri Colpi and featured Omar Sharif as Captain Nemo.
It was a recut from a TV series of the same year.
It turned out to be one of the most remarkable Jules Verne adaptations for remaining unusually faithful to the original book, including the exterior design of the Nautilus.
Deviations from the original book were either limited to budget restrictions or moderate artistic liberty: While it seems not credible that the Nemo of the book achieved various, physically demanding stunts, Omar Sharif is much younger, relies on what's left of his crew and eventually shares the same fate as his alter ego James Mason in the Disney version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
