An original French Petite poster for the release of the 1966 adventure film “Around the World Under the Sea“ or to give it its correct title “Le Tour du Monde Sous les Mer”, the poster is in superb condition and most likely has never been displayed. 

An American science fiction film directed by Andrew Marton and starring Lloyd Bridges, with Marshall Thompson, Shirley Eaton, Gary Merrill and David McCallum. Although Jules Verne is not credited by the filmmakers, his influence can be seen throughout the film.

It follows the adventures of a crew of the deep-diving nuclear-powered civilian research submarine Hydronaut making a submerged circumnavigation of the world to plant monitoring sensors on the ocean floor that will help scientists better predict impending earthquakes.

Along the way, the crew must deal with underwater exploding volcanoes and giant eels. In addition, the crew often does not get along, especially when a crew member wants to use the submarine to reach a shipwreck that holds a safe containing diamonds and pearls. The mission was made necessary as tidal waves have been causing destruction all over the world.

“Hold your breath for the biggest undersea adventure of all”
