Directed by Cy Endfield and featuring special effects by Ray Harryhausen, the 1961 adventure film Mysterious Island was based on the novel The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne (no word on why they dropped the "The" from the title). In addition to Harryhausen's wonderful stop-motion animal used for the creatures of the island, the film also boasts a typically bombastic score by Bernard Herrmann, who'd previously worked with Harryhausen on The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.During the American Civil War, a group of Union soldiers are held inside a Confederate prison camp. They stage a daring escape during a storm and steal an enemy observation balloon, only to find themselves blown out to sea, where they wind up stranded on a seemingly deserted island. The gang includes Captain Cyrus Harding (Michael Craig), his men Herbert Brown (Michael Callan) and Neb Nugent (Dan Jackson), war correspondent Gideon Spilett (Gary Merrill), and a Confederate soldier named Pencroft (Percy Herbert) who cooperates with the Yankees mostly out of mutual benefaction. They're soon joined by two survivors from a sunken ship, Lady Mary Fairchild (Joan Greenwood) and her niece Elena Fairchild (Beth Rogan), who quickly begins making goo-goo eyes at the virile young Herbert.Very quickly, the castaways discover that the island isn't so uninhabited after all! Giant versions of ordinary animals live there, and naturally prey on the new arrivals. In addition, the place turns out to be a hangout for a pirate crew, as well as — unbeknownst to the pirates, of course — the secret base of the infamous Captain Nemo (Herbert Lom). Oh, and the island's central volcano is due to erupt, meaning their stay will have to be drastically shortened unless they want to get barbecued. | |

| Mysterious Island / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: In the novel, the mystery of who the castaways' mysterious benefactor is carried on through most of the story, only revealing towards the end that it's actually Nemo himself. The trailer (as well as the poster) by way of billing, tips off the audience from the start that Nemo is in the film. The trailer also reveals the gigantic animals and the key plot point of the volcanic eruption, even showing the island awash with lava at the end of the trailer. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
| Mysterious Island / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: The ammonite. Almost all of the giant creatures are explained as being the results of Captain Nemo's experiments to solve world hunger by making giant versions of ordinary animals, except for the ammonite. It appears to be a prehistoric survival instead of one of Nemo's experiments gone wrong. Similarly, the giant bird, although identified as one of Nemo's experiments, is clearly modeled on the extinct terror bird Phorusrhacos (though its coloration does make it look like a giant chicken). | |

Adaptation Expansion: The addition of the two female castaways, as well as the entire plot of Nemo creating the gigantic animals and the battle with each creature was all added to the film. The novel focuses solely on the castaways plight, and their ingenuity to make what they need with the available materials on the island, and Capt. Harding's knowledge. As for Nemo, in the novel he's the last surviving member of the Nautilus' crew, and aids the castaways in small ways. He doesn't reveal himself until near the climax, when he's on his deathbed. | |

Mook–Face Turn: Pencroft does a relatively quick one. Initially, it's purely self-serving (as he doesn't want his captors to throw him out of the balloon). Over time, however, it becomes a genuine one as he learns to cooperate with the group. | |

Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the novel, Nemo is the last surviving crew member of the Nautilus and has settled on the island waiting to die. In fact, he only reveals his presence to the castaways on his deathbed, before dying of natural causes and being buried when the castaways scuttle the Nautilus. In the film, Herbert Lom is quite a bit more perky, and is willing to accompany the other castaways in escaping but he's killed by the collapsing Nautilus in the volcanic eruption, and the Nautilus is sunk. | |

And Your Reward Is Edible | |
| Mysterious Island / int_d4db580f | comment |
And Your Reward Is Edible: The castaways' reward for slaying the giant crab by knocking it into a gigantic hot spring? The thing boils to death and they have crab meat for weeks! This also proves to be the case with the giant chicken although they didn't kill it, Nemo did. Also the case for at least some of the real crabs that provided the close-ups of the giant crab's mandibles. As Harryhausen put it, "We had a delightful lunch when they had served their purpose." | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
| Mysterious Island / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: Pretty much the entire subplot involving Captain Nemo's experiments to solve world hunger, and the giant animals that result, is lifted straight out of H.G. Wells's The Food Of The Gods. | |

Intoxication Ensues: Played for Laughs when Pencroft samples Ayrton's (apparently very strong) bottle of booze they find inside the cave. | |
