About this product

Product Information

Sophia Loren's American screen debut sees her play Phaedra, a sponge diver on Greek island who discovers a sunken ship filled with artefacts including a priceless ancient gold statue of a boy on a dolphin. She and her boyfriend Rhif enlist the help of American archaeologist James Calder but he can't afford the asking price and Rhif turns to art collector Victor Parmalee. Phaedra, disgusted at their mercenary attitude, joins forces with Calder to raise the treasure for the Greek nation before Rhif and Calder can squirrel it away. Jean Negulesco's film is famous for the 'special effect' in which, for one scene, Loren had to walk in a trench so she didn't tower over the diminutive Ladd.

Vast improvement onstandard dvd copies in terms of sound and picture quality, story rather predictable but still interesting, worth adding your collection.
