...this rising interest in the potential of the seas that has in the past few years spawned the Aluminaut and newer and even more bizarre and sophisticated undersea craft that can carry men into the ocean depths and sustain them there for days and even weeks...
This, on a somewhat less spectacular level, is what one had every right to expect from a Styne-Harburg collaboration. The property--Arnold Bennett's novel Buried Alive--made two successful movies, and there seemed no reason why it couldn't sustain a successful musical too. But Nunnally Johnson, who did the screenplay to the 1943 movie Holy Matrimony, has merely tightened his script a little and introduced a few new scenes in converting it to musical comedy.
