Indeed, the bottom of the lake, a gray moonscape punctuated by boulders, rock-slides and l00-ft.-high sandstone walls, was teeming with life. Clouds of minute zooplankton drifted across the sub's windows like snowflakes. Burrowing burbot fish dug deep trenches in the silt, while sculpin fish created dimple-like holes as they nestled into the lake floor...

The director was a Reems fan: "I really dug Harry. He's a professional, he's a romantic, and he's an exhibitionist." But for some reason he didn't want him to play Dr. Young. Linda, of course, had to be in the movie; she was the movie. He gave her an alliterative, movie-star name and devised costumes, lighting tricks and cagey camera angles to hide...
