Just for the record, a fathom is equal to six feet so 20,000 fathoms is almost twenty-three miles.

Reviews for The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms
The good news is that Warner Brothers' 50th Anniversary DVD edition has plenty to offer both Harryhausen fans and genre collectors. For starters, this old black-and-white catalogue item looks remarkably good.
I actually liked the two commemorative, fiftieth-anniversary documentaries better than the feature film. They're short but fascinating.
