"The Wreck of The Mary Deare", 1959 in color

[Michael Jastrzebski]

No one mentioned this movie so I better do.

You got Gary Cooper and Charlton Heston doing scuba in the movie.
It isn't really a "diving" movie, it is primarily a maritime story/courtroom drama but diving play a tiny part here to bring the story to its climax. Alfred Hitchcock was supposed to direct the movie but he was steered towards "North by Northwest" instead. The movie has been totally underappreciated and for me it is one of the best movies I have ever seen, gave me the final encouragement to get certified. Not an easy movie to find and once I spotted it on Comcast I bought it.

I love that movie and it also has a very young Richard Harris in the cast.

Another one I enjoyed in that category was Wake of the Red Witch with John Wayne. I saw Mary Deare on TMC about 3 years ago.
