The UK branch of Twentieth Century Fox has revealed that it plans to release on Blu-ray two classic adventure films: Richard Fleischer's
Fantastic Voyage (1966) and Irwin Allen's
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961). The two release will arrive on the UK market on November 4th.
Fantastic Voyage
A group of medics and a submarine are miniaturised and injected into the bloodstream of a top Czech scientist, who was shot while defecting, in order to carry out delicate, life-saving surgery. Traveling though his body is hazardous, but far more dangerous is the suspicion that one of them is a traitor. They race against time to perform the surgery and escape from the body before they return to their full size. The film won Oscars for Best Cinematography and Best Editing. Starring Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch, Edmond O'Brien, Donald Pleasence, Arthur Kennedy, and James Brolin.
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
USN Admiral Nelson (Walter Pidgeon) takes command of a technologically advanced atomic submarine. With a group of eminent scientists (including Joan Fontaine and Peter Lorre) on board, Nelson sets out to save the world by exploding an undersea belt of lethal radiation. The film inspired a long-running television series. Starring Walter Pidgeon, Joan Fontaine, Barbara Eden, Peter Lorre, Frankie Avalon, Robert Sterling, and Michael Ansara.
