Exactly 50 years ago to this day was a world premiere of a film "The Silent World" by Jacques Yves Cousteau and Louis Malle. It has won an Oscar, and was also a first documentary to win Palm d'Or at Cannes film festival in 1956.
This film marked the beginning of a series of underwater documentaries that were an inspiration to a vast number of today's divers and a fascination to everyone else not familiar with marine world and diving.
It also established a red wool cap as an unmistakable diving fashion statement.
