This is one of those great classics starring James Mason. Although budget limited some lousy effects (even for 1959)this is still a great film to remember and it has been restored magificently in Dolby surround sound! Other Classic mason films include 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (Special Edition) and North By Northwest.

If you like this, then I would also suggest the film made a week after this, using the same sets, dialogue and effects, and ends up with (surprise) a volcanic eruption.

It is called The Lost world, and the best available version is here (The Lost World (Special Edition) - 1960 & 1925 versions) This film stars Michael Rennie (The Day the Earth Stood Still) and Claude Rains (Caesar and Cleopatra, Invisible Man - The Legacy Collection (The Invisible Man/Invisible Man Returns/Invisible Agent/Invisible Woman/Invisible Man's Revenge)) Both films are good fun.

ENJOY!
