TRANSATLANTIC TUNNEL - 1935 - LESLIE BANKS & RICHARD DIX - SCI-FI MOVIE CLASSIC - RARE DVD
Product Description
This wonderful 1935 science fiction adventure B&W movie dvd release is titled... THE TUNNEL
Director: Maurice Elvey
Runtime: 71 minutes
Transatlantic Tunnel is the English-language version of the 1932 French-German speculative drama The Tunnel. Set sometime in the future (complete with two-way televisions, art-deco airships and self-propelled automobiles), the film stars Richard Dix as McAllen, a visionary architect who devotes his life to the construction of a tunnel linking the United States with England. Despite devastating professional and personal setbacks, including the death of his own son in a tunnel cave-in, nothing dissuades Dix from completing the project. Guest stars Walter Huston and George Arliss are cast respectively as the American President and the British Prime Minister, roles that they'd played before on several occasions. Like William Cameron Menzie's Things to Come, the film is impressive for its futuristic sets and state-of-the-art special effects. Originally released at 94 minutes, Transatlantic Tunnel is currently available only in its 70-minute reissue form.
