Vintage Local Dive Movie

[Divebum Don]

"Raiders From Beneath the Sea" (1964) From the Marineland villas to the Catalina white steamer, this is a black and white mid-century modern classic. Watched it last year, it's on DirecTV today. It's a treat, minus the story line. Must be online somwhere?

Interesting how it starts with the diver walking out of the water barefoot and not carrying fins.

When he tries to make his escape at Catalina he has no fins, yet they later appear on his feet. I love how they walk through Avalon with doubles, spearguns and their masks on.

I watched the flick and...well...it wasn't too great. However, the Catalina scene was very cool and the music just down right made me laugh.

"Wait a minute. No scuba divers allowed in town. You should know that."

Priceless!
