Watch out, there's the
signpost--Submarine Seaview, dead ahead. You are about to enter the
world of Irwin Allen's Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea--a universe of old
fashioned rubber band, paper clip, and scotch tape special effects created
by effects genius L.B. Abbott. Back in the days before CGI, when
good special effects were a lot harder to create. The
people who made the movie and TV show Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
came up with some good ones, at a time when little was being done in the
way of creating alternate worlds through special effects on television.
You will encounter some great graphics on
the often fabulous 60's television show, Voyage to the Bottom of the
Sea. Voyage is a show, which, when it was good, was very, very good,
but even when the scripts stunk, as they often did in the show's final
seasons, the cast, lead by the brilliant Richard Basehart as Admiral
Harriman Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Lee Crane, always did their
best. This site focuses on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea's
strengths, not its weaknesses, for one simple reason--those strengths
often made for entertaining, occasionally brilliant
television.
Within, you'll find sections
on: The show's cast
and crew. Special
effects. Collectibles. Production Artwork. Models. Photo
Gallery and more.
If you have any photos or
information on Voyage you would like to share with this site, please
contact me at the webmaster address below. My aim is to make this
site as comprehensive as possible. I will surely credit anything
contributed--MB
