THE UNDERWATER CITY 1953 (TUBI)

This is a standard programmer with some sci-fi elements thrown in for good measure.

I had never seen the movie, but always wanted to because of the cast. William Lundigan stars as Bob Gage, an engineer who is hired by his firm to design a city to be built underwater.

The movie chronicles the building of the city and some of the dangers involved. There are a lot of characters involved in this film, and if you're looking for action you won't get it here.

What you do get is a slow build to the final 5 minutes when it's discovered that the city is built on a fault line under the ocean and is completely destroyed.

This was all shot on soundstages so the underwater scenes are good, but hey, it's only a movie. The rest of the cast includes Julie Adams, Roy Roberts, Paul Dubov, Kathie Browne, Carl Benton Reid, and Karen Norris.

I do like this film and I like the color photography, but I am telling you it's slow and so you view at your own risk.
