Verily I say unto thee..of course it wasn't the John Wayne one which was made in 1956 and not 1965. I'm astonished at the lack of basic film knowledge exhibited by many on this board.

Oh my!!! Oh my!!! Had I not seen this I may not have believed it.
Love it!!! It's so enjoyable that it almost proves my point that Mason never gave a bad performance. This may be even more memorable than his "good" performances. I can't help but see Peter Sellers here doing his Sidney Wang in MURDER BY DEATH.
One thing is for sure - we'll never see "performances" like these again due to political correctness.

The film
really
needs a Blu-ray release.
It got the deluxe DVD treatment from Disney some years ago, but 20KLUTS is a title I'd very much like to upgrade to hi-def.
It still holds up, even 60+ years on.

I agree. The film has held up very well. I expected it to look much more hoakey. Apparently the effects were groundbreaking for its time and the film won some Oscars in the SFX and technical departments.

I've only read the book. But it's a book ripe for a majestic adaptation.

When I read the book a few years ago, I was surprised by how closely the Disney adaptation had followed the text. I kind of expected the mouse to have changed it more.
