Not only this story is "authentic Jules Verne", in fact written years earlier its presentation to a publisher, but if Hetzel first refused this book, then asked Verne's son to rewrite the novel, it's because it was different from the other books Hetzel published from Verne. Excepted maybe for "Le château des Carpathes". Since, the original Jules Verne's manuscript has been discovered in Hetzel's archives and was re-published in this much better version. In fact, Verne wrote several stories more fantastic, or even horrific, than his other best-known books. I totally disagree with the previous review by Gwynplaine McIntyre. First, the TV-movie is so well photographed that it gives the impression of a "real" movie, made for theaters. It was a coproduction with Czechoslovakia and benefits enormemously of the splendid exteriors in Prag. The cast is uniformeously excellent, and the special effects are superb for a 1967 movie.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

These stories can take place in entirely fictional worlds or blend fantastical elements with real-world settings.
