The film has its faults: it grows repetitious and tries to provide variety with music full of scubadoo cuteness. Thus, by the time the saucer plunges down for a climactic survey of the queer fish and mating crabs found at the 1,000-ft. level, most viewers will be more than ready to surface, having had all the submarine miracles a landlubber can tolerate at one sitting...

Such disks jiggle at a fingertip touch, but may weigh as much as 13 Ibs.-as a thief discovered when he tried to whisk one away from the Chrysler Art Museum, only to have it drop with a clang. The second, also a space-age motif, resembles the hollow cone of a missile. Inside, visible from both ends, are two metallic spheres, one hanging down like a tiny bathysphere on its nylon thread...
