Hi Sid

If it's the one Kirk Douglas was in, it was pretty grim and gruesome and not very entertaining.

     The publication of Bill Butcher's English
translation of "The Lighthouse at the End of the World" reminds me of an
incident that occurred some 50 years ago. At the time the only JV
novels I knew about were the ones in the New York City public
libraries. A movie was playing called "The Lighthouse at the End of the
World" and the newspaper advertisements said that the movie was based on a novel
Verne had written. Considering myself something of a JV expert I wrote to
some New York City fraud investigating office bitterly complaining the Verne had
written no such novel.
