Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt a promotional event, a young Jayne Mansfield was one of several swimmers participating in a underwater skit when the top of her bathing suit came off. Many believe that she let it happen on purpose for free publicity.
- GoofsAt the beginning of the film, Richard Egan's voice-over twice specifies that the gas in his SCUBA tank is "oxygen." His tanks contain compressed air, which is approximately 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. If they contained pure oxygen, the diver would likely experience oxygen toxicity and go into convulsions within a short period of time at about 20 feet, and even more quickly at deeper depths. But oxygen is the part of air that keeps us alive, and without wanting to give the audience a science lesson on oxygen/nitrogen ratios, calling it oxygen instead of air is natural. Also, his words were "... you'd sure eat up the oxygen..." and "... oxygen enough to stay down...," neither of which implies tanks of pure oxygen.

Johnny Gray: Men who live by sharks, get to live like them. You could almost smell the way that guy was thinking. We looked fat and he was hungry.

Featured review
The scuba diver partners Dominic Quesada (Gilbert Roland) and Johnny Gray (Richard Egan) are treasure hunters that are seeking for sunken treasures in the Caribean waters. When they find evidences of the Seventeenth Century galleon Santo Bello in the bottom of the sea, they raise money and an adequate boat and they sail to the spot with Johnny's wife Theresa Gray (Jane Russell), the boat's owner Gloria (Lori Nelson) and Father Cannon (Robert Keith), who is an archaeologist, to recover the treasure.
They find the galleon located in a dangerous location on the edge of a cliff and they use a winch to try to hold it in position. Meanwhile they feel threatened by greedy shark hunters but they leave them in an island. When Theresa is trapped in the debris of the sunken vessel, Johnny and Dominic have difficulties to rescue her. But when they return to they vessel, they have a surprise.
"Underwater!" is a naive popcorn movie with a great adventure of treasure hunters. The attractions of this film are basically the underwater filming and Jane Russell, but it is entertaining in a rainy afternoon on DVD. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Alforje do Diabo" ("The Devil's Saddlebag")
