There were batches of underwater adventure movies in Hollywood besides this one: BENEATH THE 12 MILES REEF, UNDERWATER, SHARKFIGHTERS.... This one directed by Budd Boetticher for his Universal Studios contract period is very enchanted, full of color and helped by a strong cast with the likes of Robert Ryan and Anthony Quinn. Paramount Studios could have produced this plot, typical of the studio, where we could have found for instance John Payne and Rhonda Fleming. But this one is perfect for gem diggers and interested in those fifties adventures movies, so full of charm, no matter the story and implausibilities.
