All children should watch this movie because it imparts into them the traits of self-reliance, resourcefulness, integrity, prudence, scientific curiosity, loyalty and valor.
AND it has great special effects that LOOK menacing and magical. NOT the cgi stuff they have today. THe giant crab, the giant chicken, even the bees looked so real as to stir the imagination. WHy can't Hollywood get this right anymore ? THey have King Kong running around like a gazelle. Nothing that big can move that fast.
Well, I'm an adult, and I'm just now getting over my fear of giant crabs. I mean big crabs. I'm talking real big crabs. Not those things they sell down there on the wharf. I'm talking REAL BIG CRABS. Big ones! And don't get me started on the bees! Now, at least the bees in the movie are pretty much benign. I can deal with them, pretty much. I ain't never going to be no beekeeper, but I can deal with them. But the giant crab, oh my goodness. Run! Run for your lives! But then, I just escaped from the war-crime Confederate prison of Andersonville, Atlanta, Georgia, and I'm either a Union officer or an enlisted man, so I guess I can deal with a giant crab. I don't know. Is there at least one pretty woman in this movie? There is? Fine, fine, send the boys up to get some popcorn! I just want to sit here and relax and watch the movie and let the music wash over me. Did I mention that this movie has music? I guess you can get the sense of the story from Jules Verne, but Bernard Herrmann makes it come alive for me. Oh yeah, and Mr. Ray Harryhausen.
I could not agree more because these two geniuses can take us out of this world into another one and our brains will recall that experience for a whole lifetime. How many movie projects can you say that for?
You mean, like The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Jason and the Argonauts, Journey to the Center of the Earth and this, too? Talos coming to life and taking on the Greeks blew my ten-year-old mind at the Savoy Theatre in 1963.
@@yaffayafo82 Talos still gives me the creeps. The sound, the metal creaking as he turns his heard. It was not just the stop motion, the whole presents worked.
We lived in the country and it was very rare that we went to the movies ... Somehow I saw Mysterious Island when I was 8 and Jason and the Argonaughts 2 yrs later ... Both left an endelible memory ... Wonderful material ...
I grew up in a small town as well. I was too young to have seen the initial releases but by God in 1979 a tiny local movie house (2 screens) showed a double feature of Mysterious Island and Jason and the Argonauts over one weekend. My friends and I attended all the screenings then later built an "Argo" out of an old truck bed.
I was only in grade school when I first saw this film on TV back in the mid-1960s. Even then, the music grabbed me and kick-started my life as a lover of film music, a passion I still have to this day, mostly due to Bernard Herrmann.
6:17 This is the closest I have ever considered that divine inspiration for this music is real. I know Bernard Herrmann is greatly respected and admired. What I don't understand is why he is not even more respected and admired.
Being a child at the time, I didn't know about film composers. I did think how much the music moved me, though. Bernard was great at conveying the proper mood in scenes.
saw this as a kid and loved it and I always remembered how impressive the music was. when I got older I saw the composer was Bernard Herrmann and it all made sense.
Seeing this in the theater as a kid just awed me. The crashing score made this film ( Harryhausen helped ). Also his score to Journey To The Center Of Th Earth.
So great you got to see it on the big screen! I first saw it on tv back in the '60s. But I did get to see Journey in the theater, which I never forgot. The moment they discovered the underground ocean is embedded in my memory! It's impossible to imagine these films WITHOUT Herrmann's music! Herrmann and Harryhausen were giants.
This takes me back to my schooldays having seen the 1st movie which was Pirates of Blood River then Mysterious Island started with the curtain drawn and the magnificent opening chords of the main title playing shivers when first heard
I remember seeing this movie when it came out. The very first thing that got to me was the main title. I was 10 years old and I was blown away listening to this incredible music. I never forgot that feeling of Mr. BERNARD HERRMANN's score. Today now I have so much of his soundtrack scores. He is my #1 composer. It makes me cry every time his music is presented in films. My favorite is OBSESSION. Beautiful score. When he passed away on December 24, 1975 I was heart broken. And I still am today. GOD I miss you and thank you very much for all your music you gave to us. RIP (from 976-CREOLEMAN)!
I had started reading the book, by Jules Verne at age 11 this was 1966. I had purchased a copy of Classics Illustrated of this story then, was fascinated by the story..written and illustrated. Then the movie came on television with this incredible score, I was spellbound! This captivating music just enhanced the movie along with Ray Harryhausen's special effects ..so much for my young brain to comprehend
great movie - great color - great music .................. what else could you ask for? ........... these types of movies entertained me to the hilt for many a young year!
The most moving and grandiose of all his compositions from the movie genre'. This stiil grabs me and takes me to a distant place. I was 6 yo when this movie was released. I never tire of watchint it!
Herrmann's music absolutely captures every single aspect of the fantastic nature of this film. Listening to the score allows one to visualize and experience this extraordinary motion picture.
I’m an 80s kid but I remember seeing this on movie on tv. The movie was great…….but it could not survive with this masterful piece of work from Mr. Hermann. Just listening to those first notes accompanied by cymbals…….I didn’t know what I was about to see but I knew it was going to be……well……BIG lol.
Herrmannesque...music in the style of the Maestro. I love so many of his scores..."Day the Earth Stood Still", "Citizen Kane" "Jason & the Argonauts" "Beneath the 12 Mile Reef".."The Ghost & Mrs.Muir"...the original Lost in Space pilot just used Bernard Herrmann's music...before Johnny Williams scored the series. "Cape Fear" "Psycho" " North by Northwest" "Marnie" " Vertigo" all the Twilight Zones he scored...astounding output, such a genius.
I remember seeing this in black & white on the old Zenith TV set living in Rhodhiss (a Mayberry kind of town), North Carolina. The underwater kraken and the large bees and the humongous crab just froze me in my tracks. I may have been 6 or 7 years old. As great as the special FX were, the music was just phenomenal! Oftentimes, the musical score of a film can make or break it.
The problem with judging Bernard Herrmann's scores is they are all so good/great everyone has a tendency to think the last one they heard is the best. He was supposed to have said he own favorite was that for the film "The Ghost And Mrs. Muir" and I tend to agree. It was also one of the best films in its own right he composed for.
You would say something like that. And I think you are right. Still, my money's on Mysterious Island. (The Egyptian, runner up.) And notice that nobody is mentioning Vertigo? We'll all go to hell before we hear the likes of that again. And yes, yes, there is North by Northwest, and also Taxi Driver, which is my favorite. But then, I am not a well man.
This was on a double bill in the uk with Pirates of Blood River (Hammer Movie) being the main feature people in the audience were more astounded by Mysterious Island and the opening chords of the main title be Herrmann which played behind the curtain in them days.
Mysterious Island was second because it was a U.S.produced film and Blood River was U.K. and in the U.S. it was single billed and ran alone in theaters to great success as well.
Modern audiences will most likely recognize the theme as the music that plays on the Disneyland Railroad when it passes through the Primeval World diorama.
Zoomer who went to disneyland a hundred times as a kid here, thats where I know it from. Havent been in years and I just started looking into Herrman on a whim cause someone said he was a big inspiration for Howard Shore. I was just looking for good fantasy music for DnD and I came across it by accident.
This was one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE movies as a kid growing up in the 1970s.. It used to always come on around my birthday. I thought Beth Rogan was SO HOT! GREAT MUSIC! THANX FOR POSTING!
You can tell it's a Bernard Hermann composition. He had his own distinct style. I would say that the music for The Egyptian (1954) and Taxi Driver (1976) were his best works.
06:18 is one of the finest pieces of music I know of. To me, one more proof that music doesn't have to be particularly technical or groundbreaking in terms of arrangement or any other aspect. It's a fine balance of everything that makes a great composer/musician, that allows them to produce an atmosphere and to trigger emotions. This music certainly did it for me. I see I had left a comment two years ago and it's no true accident if I come back here. Thank you again Fred.
I was BLESSED to know DAVID RAKSIN. He introduced me to "Benny" "Journey To the Center of the Earth" - one of the GREAT film scores ever written. Just "Benny"
When the balloon is being blown west (yeah, Jules Verne knew squat about the jet stream, cut him some slack) and that theme kicks in, it always gives me the shivers, and I've listening to this music for more than fifty years. Screw CGI jump scares, this is the way to build tension.
This films always has a special place in my heart due to it being the first Ray Harryhausen production I saw. It is also a far superior version of Jules Vernes' book than many of the subsequent film attempts, most of which use elements unique to this film and weren't in the original book, like the gigantic animals.
My mom surprisingly took me to see this movie during the winter of 1962 and I was in 2nd grade. It was a week day so maybe we had a day off or a half day. I never heard of Jules Vern and when the movie started I was amazed by the music then when I thought this was civil war movie I was disappointed until the balloon escape scene when this became just about my favorite movie of all time. It changed my lfie and gave me a reason to check out Jules Vern and also how such a movie could be made. I met Ray Harryhausen two times and I was able to tell him how much his work meant to me. I am sad that I never had the opportunity to tell that same thing to Bernard Herrmann because the music is just as much responsible for this movie being such a huge success.

Scary, Majestic and mind blowing music to accompany a real adventure! Bernard Herrmann was a GENIUS! The only musician who comes close was Miklos Roza.
That was the Grand Canyon as we know it today. But it wasn’t always that way. Quiet now, as we travel back in time back to the fantastic PRIMEVAL WORLD, Land of the Dinosaurs!
"Allright then, now hear my terms. This gale is blowing due west. Now maybe we come down in my lines, maybe yours. Whichever it is nobody is anybody's prisoner. We all go our own ways and we don't discuss politics. Otherwise, Yankees, heh hah hah, you can just let this gale blow you to kingdom come." Sgt. Bancroft (Percy Herbert) to his captors.
I always loved that line by Bancroft! I often repeat the "...otherwise, YANKEES, you can just (fill in the blank)..." to people who have no idea what I'm referencing.
I've been finding all your great OST videos Soundtrack Fred; Thanks for posting! Another great Herrmann score! I have this exact vinyl version & cd too! I love this Herrmann sci-fi/fantasy score along with The Day The Earth Stood Still and Journey To The Center Of The Earth among others.
Herrmann was a genius, no doubt. But lets also give a shout out to whoever drew the cover art poster. That kind of old-fashioned exciting is too rare these days!
Yes!!! I lived in Lagrange and Hinsdale growing up, 1970s, 80s. Family Classics was my introduction to great movies. Great times, Bozo, Garfield Goose, Ray Rayner, Dirty Dragon show.
Do any fans out there know why this is the music heard on the Disneyland railroad with the dinosaurs? Is this a piece of classical music? Did Walt decide to use Bernard Herrmann’s score for reasons …?
All children should watch this movie because it imparts into them the traits of self-reliance, resourcefulness, integrity, prudence, scientific curiosity, loyalty and valor.
I just bought this for my kids. It's a movie I remember so fondly, and I was born 20 years after it came out!
AND it has great special effects that LOOK menacing and magical. NOT the cgi stuff they have today.
THe giant crab, the giant chicken, even the bees looked so real as to stir the imagination.
WHy can't Hollywood get this right anymore ? THey have King Kong running around like a gazelle. Nothing that big can move that fast.
AND it is a darn good movie. Pure and simple.
I lack most of those, so this film was especially helpful as a stand-in role model.
Well, I'm an adult, and I'm just now getting over my fear of giant crabs. I mean big crabs.
I'm talking real big crabs. Not those things they sell down there on the wharf. I'm talking REAL BIG CRABS. Big ones!
And don't get me started on the bees! Now, at least the bees in the movie are pretty much benign.
I can deal with them, pretty much.
I ain't never going to be no beekeeper, but I can deal with them.
But the giant crab, oh my goodness. Run! Run for your lives!
But then, I just escaped from the war-crime Confederate prison of Andersonville, Atlanta, Georgia, and I'm either a Union officer or an enlisted man, so I guess I can deal with a giant crab. I don't know.

Oh yeah, and Mr. Ray Harryhausen.
This music MADE my childhood. Seeing this first-run in a 1960s movie theater was awesome!!!!!
Yes I grew up on this music.
***** Yes, I imagine seeing this at the theater as a 10 year old was the ultimate child experience!!!
Hard Rock Master
I think this, other Bernard Herrman scores, and the documentary series "Victory at Sea" gave me my lifelong love of classical music.
Ditto. Saw this at a one o'clock show. Stayed for the three o'clock. This was the first soundtrack record I bought!
Nice in the drive in movie against the night sky plenty of food hamburgers hot dogs fries piazza
Bernard Herrmann was the master. He really added so much to the Harryhausen movies.
Ray Harryhausen/Bernard Herrmann......the greatest movie combo of all time!
I could not agree more because these two geniuses can take us out of this world into another one and our brains will recall that experience for a whole lifetime. How many movie projects can you say that for?
... the greatest combo of all time....
You've gotten that one right, Mister!

He's unorthodox. That simple. Others are envious of his sometimes brash creativity. The Welles of film music?
Not to mention his abrasive personality that rubbed many the wrong way
Being a child at the time, I didn't know about film composers. I did think how much the music moved me, though. Bernard was great at conveying the proper mood in scenes.
one of Herrmann best scores massively orchestrated with his style stamped all over it .AMAZING, !!
It was his largest orchestra of all his films
saw this as a kid and loved it and I always remembered how impressive the music was. when I got older I saw the composer was Bernard Herrmann and it all made sense.
Conducting The London Symphony Orchestra in excellent stereo sound from 1961.
Bernard Herrmann's opening score to this film is electrifying!
It's like he turned a Tempest into music! Loud, rumbling, and explosive!
Those opening chords never fail to give me chills!! thanks for posting.
I agree so much! Opening chords are sublime!

Amazing soundtrack for this classic movie.
love this movie. Takes me back watching it and another favorite from around this time was "Valley of Gwanji"
Jerome Moross music.
Loved this movie as a 10 year old; the soundtrack heightened the excitement.
Herrmann's music absolutely captures every single aspect of the fantastic nature of this film. Listening to the score allows one to visualize and experience this extraordinary motion picture.
Was für ein spannendes Meisterwerk, wunderschön gespielt! Es ist fast unmöglich, dass solch eine erregende Filmmusik im 21. Jahrhundert neu zu hören.
This is so much my bag... thank you. Now I need to watch the movie. It's been ages.

Great Musical score to a great Sci-fi cinema!! And it's also mystifying what your mind can create from just listening to the soundtrack!!
NO WONDER why this music was so great... Bernard Herrmann wrote it!!! I just discovered this when I noticed his credits here.
Bennie, write me some "Volcano Music"! Mt. St. Helens blowing up, yeah that's it.

Yes, it's really amazing how Bernard Herrmann could create a musical windstorm for a balloon to be blown about in, as much as the visuals.
Bernard Herrmann, just Bernard Herrmann

Always will be the best!
Miss these scores for films😔
Thanks for posting the original soundtrack recording. Sound is excellent! I have the suite Herrmann recorded on London Phase 4--this sounds great too.
So do I (from 976-CREOLEMAN).
more epicness from Bernard - thgis and Jason and the Argonauts - just as good as his more famous Hitchcock work.
These scores are just as famous and beloved as the Hitchcock work.
The good stuff
I love how that dramatic introduction leads up to a picture of Bernard Herrmann cuddling his cat
this is the example that music beats film.
Total Genuis! Thank you Frederik!
That was the Grand Canyon as we know it today. But it wasn’t always that way.
Quiet now, as we travel back in time back to the fantastic PRIMEVAL WORLD, Land of the Dinosaurs!
I heard the music and had to hide under the covers
I heard the music and I just wet myself.
Check out The Naked and the Dead Score by Herrmann!
Marcel ... You nailed it. Best composer of my generation.
"Allright then, now hear my terms. This gale is blowing due west. Now maybe we come down in my lines, maybe yours. Whichever it is nobody is anybody's prisoner. We all go our own ways and we don't discuss politics. Otherwise, Yankees, heh hah hah, you can just let this gale blow you to kingdom come." Sgt. Bancroft (Percy Herbert) to his captors.

Herbert Lom is the best Captain Nemo EVER. AND the best Phantom of the Opera.
And he has the best line. Something about contact with his own species being a disappointment.
Magnificent music!
Herrmann was a genius, no doubt. But lets also give a shout out to whoever drew the cover art poster. That kind of old-fashioned exciting is too rare these days!
I would say all the compositions he did for the ray harryhausen movies were best
Reminds me of a hurricane coming.
Anyone remember this opening music from the Long Branch Haunted Mansion line back in the 80s and 90s?
Before Danny Elfman, There was Bernard Herrmann.
O..M..G ..!!
They flew nearly half way across the world in that balloon with no mention of food, water or taking a crap! Great music though.
Gotta remember this *was* '61.
Portions of the soundtrack were used in Disneyland Rail Road's Primeval World diorama.
Thank you for this soundtrack! But where is the giant crab? I don't see a picture. Do you think that Mr. Harryhausen could help me out here?
1960s, WGN Family Classics.
Yep. I looked forward to Frazier Thomas introducing a great classic every Sunday afternoon.
Yes!!! I lived in Lagrange and Hinsdale growing up, 1970s, 80s. Family Classics was my introduction to great movies. Great times, Bozo, Garfield Goose, Ray Rayner, Dirty Dragon show.
If you listen closely on the Disneyland train, you can hear this soundtrack being played when you pass the dinosaurs behind the glass!! :)
And it fits perfectly!
okay, now I'm really afraid. and where's the girl! Bernard Herrmann is God!
Do any fans out there know why this is the music heard on the Disneyland railroad with the dinosaurs? Is this a piece of classical music? Did Walt decide to use Bernard Herrmann’s score for reasons …?
Part of the ending sounds like Salem's Lot! So, if Salem's Lot was made in 1979, then it was ripped off from this. Interesting.
