The Entrance to Hell! The Island at the Top of the World is directed by Robert Stevenson and adapted to screenplay by John Whedon from the novel The Lost Ones written by Ian Cameron. It stars Donald Sinden, David Hartman, Jacques Marin, Mako and Agneta Eckemyr. Music is by Maurice Jarre and cinematography by Frank Phillips. Out of Walt Disney productions, this is a pic that finds the house of the mouse desperately trying to keep their live action fantasy flame ablaze. Unfortunately, in spi…

Discovered this the other day in a tin of DVDs. It is a little bit far-fetched, but nonetheless a smashing Disney family adventure about a millionaire who sets off to the Arctic in an airship with a professor and a slightly grumpy French captain (the frequently scene-stealing Jacques Marin) to track down his missing son. They pick up an unwilling Eskimo en route to a volcanic island inhabited by long lost Vikings and there their enterprise begins. There is some lovely scenery and wildlife photog…
