Visually stunning underwater scenes, 20 April 2002
Author: Lawrence McFarland from Wolcott Connecticut

One of those movies from childhood you remember as an adult, if for nothing else then for the brilliant colors and underwater scenes. Although this may not be available on DVD as yet, it's a good candidate because of the Technocolor beauty of it all.
