Trivia:
There seems to be some inspiration for this film taken from Jules Verne's "Journey to the Centre of the Earth". Both feature an underground sea. In both, the entrance to the Earth is close to the top of the Earth (Iceland in Verne's novel and Alaska in this film) and the escape from the underground is unexpected and amazingly rapid. more
Quotes:
Dr. James Paxton:
Nature doesn't influence Man! Man influences Nature! One strong man can change Nature!
Wright Thompson:
Oh, you're wrong, Dr. Paxton. It isn't one man, it's many men working together.
[Looking at Dr. Joan Lindsey]
Wright Thompson:
Right, teacher?
Dr. James Paxton:
Men together are no more than sheep! One man standing alone leads the way, and the sheep follow!

I thought that this would be a typical "lost world" type movie. A bunch of people set out on an adventure to find a hide away from the threat of nuclear war by drilling deep into the earth...sounds similar to a lot of other story lines. Problem is that with effects of this style (not too bad for the time), and acting this bad, I thought at least we would get a cave man or a cheap dinosaur. No, they just keep going deeper and deeper, losing members of the team as they go. It also ends so abruptly that you think the writer just gave up.
