A production still depicts the filming of the incredible battle between Captain Nemo and the giant squid. Captain Nemo (played by James Mason) is standing to the left on external shell of Nautilus with cover from the highest point of the ship. He holds a spear, ready to launch it at the beast. The squid’s tentacles reach from the farthest most point of the Nautilus to Captain Nemo, eager to grab him. Its head and mouth are underwater. In the foreground of the scene is the camera, covered by a tarp, and the heads of production crew members. The entire photo has a heavy blue tint.
