Master director John Sturges lends his talents as the helmsman of “Men’s Adventure” movies to this Howard Hughes production starring Hughes’s favorite muse, Jane Russell. While diving off the coast of Cuba, Dominic Quesada (Gilbert Roland) discovers a long-lost fortune but needs help to raise his find from the depths bringing Johnny (Richard Egan) and Theresa Gray (Russell) into his scheme. Now, as the trio fights to lift the decaying hull from its precarious resting spot on the brink of a bottomless undersea chasm, they are attacked by sharks and modern-day pirates (Joseph Calleia). Roland and Egan may bring the beefcake, while Russell and Lori Nelson provide the cheesecake, but the real meal is Sturges’ sweeping undersea spectacle. 16×9 Letterbox .

Treasure hunters face the dangers of the deep in Underwater!, RKO’s romantic action-adventure set in the exotic undersea world of the Caribbean. Hollywood beauty Jane Russell is Theresa, girlfriend of ship operator Johnny, who teams up with perennial rainbow chaser Dominic. They hunt for fabled treasure lost in an old Spanish galleon off the Cuban coast. Amid the threat of rapacious sharks and the hazards of underwater salvaging, the adventurers work against time. They must raise the gold from its ghostly grave before the rotting old ship’s hull slips off the ledge where it has rested for centuries. If that weren’t enough, the group must also outwit a local pirate. This thriller is photographed in Technicolor® in a beautiful setting of lush tropical ports and unfathomable undersea locations.
