Comment
Captain Nemo travels the seas in his submarine looking for vengance on the man who caused the death of the woman he loved. This is an intriguing silent film that is a mix of two Jules Verne novels (20000 Leaguees Under The Sea and Mysterious Island). It is notable for being the earliest film that has underwater sequences filmed, though the characters lack the depth of those inn the novel.
