Anybody else see it when it was new?
I remember going to see this at a neighborhood theater with my parents. We all thought it was really great. I've wondered ever since what it would feel like to go below in a hardhat diving rig.
shareI, too, saw it as a child with my parents during WW2 and we also thoroughly enjoyed it . Years later,
while in the USAF,I had the onerous task of having to help extricate two drowned airmen in the hold of
a B-61(we used scuba gear in about 10 ft. of water) because the local Korean divers were superstitious handling corpses.At that time I briefly recalled the squid I saw in the movie some 17 years before.
One has to remember that movie audiences of the 1940's were not as sophisticated as present ones;but at the same time I favorably reminisce about that old flick.
