\"\"I have fond memories of summer kiddie matinees in the late 60s,\u00c2\u00a0at the old Villa Theatre <\/a>in Salt Lake (now Adibs Rug Gallery).<\/p>\n

Just a theatre full of kids and popcorn and movies. \u00c2\u00a0I don’t recall my parents ever being there -\u00c2\u00a0could you even imagine that these days<\/em>? Did you do this as a kid?<\/p>\n

I can’t remember most of the movies\u00c2\u00a0we saw, but there was one that has always stood out in my mind.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Although I knew it had something to do with Captain Nemo, I couldn’t recall it’s name.\u00c2\u00a0 It never showed up as a late night tv movie, and if ever I described the movie and asked anyone if they’d seen it, I’d get blank stares.<\/p>\n

Why was it so memorable?\u00c2\u00a0 It was an undersea adventure<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 I remember vivid scenes of fish and coral – and people wearing beautiful blues and purples in an underwater city of gold.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0And a sea monster and submarines. Something about it captivated my imagination as a youth and so over the years I’ve searched google using all sorts of name\/word combinations\u00c2\u00a0trying to figure out what it was, to no avail.<\/p>\n

Well, last night I happened to do a search again – and I FOUND IT<\/em>! And, would you believe that it was also YESTERDAY<\/strong> that someone posted the entire movie on YouTube???\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I couldn’t believe it….\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 and yes, I actually watched the whole thing – and it made me smile\u00c2\u00a0 (though I was not thrilled when Captain Nemo broke off a piece of coral, explaining how they used it for building\/decorating the city…. Kristin will understand.)<\/em> What a trip down memory lane.\u00c2\u00a0 I love YouTube<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I give to you, Captain Nemo and the Underwater City <\/em>(1969 trailer)<\/p>\n

When I first posted this, the entire movie was available to view (in segments) on YouTube. It has since been removed, so if you want to see it you’re going to have to buy it online at Amazon<\/a>. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
