"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" released 1961


Irwin Allen released his futuristic science-fiction disaster movie Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, July 12, 1961.  The film takes place aboard the Seaview, the roomiest submarine I've ever seen.  The Van Allen Belt is on fire and the nuclear sub is sent to find a solution or watch the world burn up.

It stars Barbara Eden, her real-life husband Michael Ansara, Peter Lorre and Frankie Avalon. 

Although it received mixed reviews, it was a success, making $7M on a $2M production.
