If you had a baking soda-powered Seaview submarine when you were a kid, then you're probably a fan of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, either the movie or the TV show, where that high-tech sub originated. And therefore you're probably a fan of that show's creator, producer-director Irwin Allen, the subject of this documentary. Allen is probably best known for starting the disaster film craze in the '70s with hit movies like The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno, where he earned the title of "Master of Disaster." But perhaps he's best loved for the string of TV series he made in the '60s: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Lost in Space, The Time Tunnel, and the bizarre Land of the Giants. The documentary glosses over Allen's film career, rightly spending more time on the TV shows, revealing Allen's penchant for monster costumes and using stock footage. We find out that Allen often filmed some sequences for black-and-white shows in color so he could use them later as stock footage. Also, when he needed to shoot a sequence that was supposed to be inside a whale, he saved a fortune by using leftover sets from Fantastic Voyage. The format of the documentary is corny, hosted by Bill Mumy and June Lockhart, along with "The Robot," all from Lost in Space, all hamming it up. But there is such a wealth of behind-the-scenes footage that any fan of Allen's TV shows will want to own this disc. Especially noteworthy is a bonus 55-minute featurette of series proposals, including lengthy footage of two shows that didn't make it, City Beneath the Sea and The Man from the 25th Century. That's worth the price of the disc. --Jim Gay

Irwin Allen was one of the greatest television and film producers in Hollywood history. This documentary is a well done retrospective on his life and career.
Rating:  -
This is a good Irwin Allen documentary developed for television. Billy Mumy and June Lockhart host this history of Mr. Allen from his early days in radio to his later role as producer of television shows and movies. All of his well-known shows and movies are reviewed; however some of his less known shows are overlooked. The guest appearances by the robot and Dr. Smith are over the top and too camp.

Definally for anyone who grew up in the 60s and was into fantasy science ficton. This documentary, hosted by Lost In Space co-stars Bill Mumy and June Lockhart, as well as the Robot, is about the history of series creator Irwin Allen. It details his earliest beginings in Hollywood, his long time association with Groucho Marx, his forays into filmmaking such as The Big Circus and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and his sci-fi tv series, Voyage, Lost in Space, Time Tunnel, Land of the Giants, and the ...

I must confess, I wish there had been more time spent on Time Tunnel, which was the shortest lived of Irwin Allen's shows, but should have had the longest run. I also enjoyed seeing James Darren in The Man From the Twenty-fifth Century, a demonstration film, which never aired and is admittedly only 17 minutes long. I wish it had been fleshed out into a TV movie starring James Darren. The parts with Jonathan Harris were fun too.
