These comments might be considered as a spoiler for those of you who might not know the behind the scenes information on this film so you may want to beware and not read any further.
Recycled actors, costumes, sets, miniatures and stock footage from Irwin Allen's TV show Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea make up some of "City Beneath the Sea." Case in point, stock footage of the Flying Sub was used extensively as well as repainted interiors of the subs interior were used. The title was used in a first year voyage episode(2nd episode).
You have to admire Irwin Allen though because he never threw anything away he just found ways to reuse things in order to save money.
He did have some heavy weights appear in the film such as Robert Wagner and Richard Basehart (Voyage's Admiral Nelson) Joesph Cotton as well as past cast members of his show "Time Tunnel".
This is a must see for Irwin Allen fans and I must say that I am one. Allen was one of the greatest producers of all time.
It is my understanding that it was also a pilot for a possible weekly series that did not sell.
If you can over look all the recycling and cut corners you may enjoy this film which takes place around the year 2050.
I did not particularly like the film but I must say that it was entertaining in some ways.
