Much better pictures than Gilbert and Sullivan have been made, but none has had so varied and fascinating a score. That is, if you like Gilbert and Sullivan. If not, there's little use in going to the Exeter for a while, because the cultists have taken over, foot-tapping and head-nodding in time to the jounce melodies.

...picture fails to achieve much originality, it is not because Terry Moore and the octopus don't try, or because Gilbert Roland and Robert Wagner aren't brave enough to meet an occasional shark. The film's real weakness is a script scarcely different from Hollywood's previous deep sea epics. Father Roland and son Wagner, Greek sponge fishermen off the Florida keys, discuss the dangers of their occupation and the terror the diver feels when approaching the reef. As Roland wistfully points out, a man can forget his fear when once dazzled by the beauty...
