Hello Francoise

Are you familiar with Thomas Renzi's book on Jules Verne filmography --
published 1997.
Here is the Amazon link
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0786404507/qid=1039547978/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_5/002-6424481-2776857?v=glance&s=books

As far as the specific questions you pose, I will have to leave them to the
scholars in our group.

Good luck!

Roger Torstenson
