Similar movie...help with title, please!


Hi,

I am trying to get the name of another "Hollow Earth" themed movie that I saw in the 80's...it could have been a TV movie or made for the big screen. In any case, I saw it on television.

It's set in the late 19th or early 20th century. There is some link to Iceland or Scandinavia I seem to remember, and a curious brass instrument that leads them to the entrance (and exit) of the world beneath. It's found at the beginning of the story in a junk shop? not sure about that but, anyway, it is key to the plot and the adventure that follows. They bring it back at the end I seem to remember, too.

When they are down there having their adventures, a couple of the party go off down a separate passage and they look down into a cave where there see lots of people in funny windowed buildings. The folks inside are obviously much more advanced technologically and are living and working down there completely self-sufficient. I think they decide not to tell anyone else what they have seen.

That's all I seem to remember...

If anyone can help, please do!

Thanks.

Sean.

The movie you're asking about is "Where Time Began"

Thanks Friend!

"Where Time Began" is the title in the English-speaking world - the original title, "Viaje al Centro de la Tierra", makes it clear that this was actually supposed to be an adaptation of Verne's novel...
