This is an American International Pictures film starring Vincent Price and Charles Bronson. It’s based on the Jules Verne novel with the same name with elements from his story Robur the Conqueror. These Verne stories were of sort of the same ilk as 20,000 leagues under the sea, except that the Nautilus is the Albatross, and it’s a dirigible instead of a submarine. As with most AIP pictures it struggled with stock footage and low budgets.

    It should be “its” not “it’s” content.

    Wrong. “It’s” is the contraction of “It is”, where “Its” is the plural of something that has no gender.

    Like Bob Barker says: It’s a good idea to turn your dogs and cats into its.

    The contractions that usually elude me are there’s, there’re, their and theirs. Thanks Andrea. You made me look at an English book for the first time in 30 years. I haven’t been making the mistake you commented on, but there is one mistake I’ve probably been making for 20 years that I did discover from looking it up. Boy! Is my face red. I’m supposed to be sort of edumacated.

    I do appreciate people pointing out things that are wrong, broken links, errors etc. It’s probably even not a bad deal that I got out Websters English Grammar and Composition, circa 1975. At least some things don’t change in a hurry.

    My spelling is terrible and my grammar is worse. If it wasn’t for built in spell checking, we’d really be doomed.

    And remember:

    If I was any good, you couldn’t afford me.
