Re tunnels: Check out a mid 30s Columbia film where Victor Jory
plays a tunnel engineer, and a Fred MacMurray-Claudette Colbert
Paramount romantic comedy, probably by Mitchell Leisen, where she
is a reporter and he is a "sandhog". You can get the titles and
many other citations in the AFI catalogs. Also, of course, The
Great Escape. For sf, Unknown World (1951) begins by tunneling
with some kind of device through a volcano (repeated in the 1993
version of Journey to the Center of the Earth), before turning
into a loose adaptation of the Verne novel, which features caves
and caverns. Also ER Burroughs's At the Earth's Core.
