Foreign Movies of 1950s and 1960s

[RAGHAVENDRA]

Dear friends,
In our school days in late fifties and early sixties, we used to visit the Children's Theatre (later known as Kalaivanar Arangam) and watch movies for 0.06 paise (0.12 paise for adults). The films screened would be of best standards and our memories are still green with two films - (i) The Amphibian Man and (ii) Operation Tiger.

Amphibian Man is Russian film and directed by Vladimir Chebotaryov, Gennadi Kazansky, starring Vladimir Korenev as Ichtyandr Salvator. I wanted the present generation to watch this movie of 1961 which is still fresh and to my goodness, I came across the link to watch it online. Here is the link:

Those of you seeing this for the first time would be surprised to see such a classic with many technical ingredients in early 60s.

Shall discuss foreign movies of this period in the course of time.

Pls share your views on this film.
