This isn't really a Trek-related post except for a misidentified actor...
But this is mostly for @
Citizen Rules because we like to talk about old sci-fi films we've seen. And I always think I've at least heard of them all, but I found one on TCM tonight I never even heard of called "
Transatlantic Tunnel" (1935).
I was intrigued by the title which indicates it must be sci-fi since such a thing doesn't yet exist, but from what little I saw of it, the sci-fi elements seem minimal and most of it is drama. Some elements are tele-video screens for communication, computer control rooms and giant earth-digging machines. Some special effects using fire were quite good for the time. Parts seem prophetic to the building of the real-life "Chunnel" (Channel Tunnel) and there are hints of WWII before it started. Since I didn't see the whole think, I can't really rate it, but it seemed to have only a few exciting parts among a lot of slow moving pathos.
I could have sworn one of the actors was a young Ian Wolfe (Mr. Atoz), but according to IMDB, he wasn't in it.
