The 1959 movie Journey to the Center of the Earth is one of the first films I recall watching, on TV when I was a kid. I didn't know it was in color, because we didn't have a color TV. The scene when they return to the surface stayed with me. The movie was well-received and was nominated for three Oscars. Some other tidbits from Wikipedia: Arlene Dahl passed out doing the whirlpool scene, and it took a half-hour to wake her up, and Pat Boone didn't want to do the movie until they put in some songs for him to sing. (Thanks, WTM!)
