kiplingmartin Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Hi everyone, Noob here...I'm trying to identify a movie that I saw a long time ago and all I can do is to describe three scenes that I can recall: 1) A large flying craft. Possibly resembling an old sailing vessel; sailing slowly through a mountainous region. 2) A man is getting a haircut on the vessel; a bowl-like device is lowered onto his head and he's left with concentric circles of hair. 3) People sliding through tunnels of ice. Any help would be appreciated. If you know this movie please email me at: [...] Edited May 5, 2015 by TCMModerator1 Edited for personal information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaytonf Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I have an inkling, though it might sound hard to believe. A couple questions. Was it color or b/w? Do you have an idea of how long ago it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougieB Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 My first thought was Frank Capra's "Dirigible" (1931), about an expedition by dirigible to Antarctica. TCM has shown it, but it's been a while since I've seen it. It could explain the tunnels of ice, though I don't remember anything like that. However, the haircut with concentric circles makes it sound more like a fantasy of some kind, especially if it involves a flying sailing vessel. "Master of the World" (1961) with Vincent Price features a flying ship that roams the world destroying weapons of war and fighting machines of all nations.

rhodesisland Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Have you asked at imdb.com? They have a message board called, Need to Know, just for these sorts of questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are on YouTube so I was able to skim through but alas, it's not either of these. It's possible it's not even an American made film. Sorry it took so long to reply.
