The 3 Worlds of Gulliver (1960)
Country: US/GB
Technical: col 100m
Director: Jack Sher
Cast: Kerwin Mathews, Basil Sydney, Mary Ellis, June Thorburn
Synopsis:
Gulliver is a doctor who sets sail for India to make his fortune. However, when he is washed overboard in a storm he fetches up in the land of the Lilliputians, a people smaller than his hand.
Review:
Serviceable adaptation, which conflates the war with Lilliput's neighbours and the land of Brobdingnag, and leaves out the latter two voyages altogether. Which is fine, because Swiftian satire is no doubt lost on the film's target audience, in whom the special effects might by now cause an unintended chuckle.
