    • Trivia
      Body Count 6.
    • Goofs
      The Captain wears his uniform continuously throughout the movie. Unless on a big liner or a working ship like this, he would normally only wear this in port. It would be extremely impractical to wear the uniform daily like this and a Captain would change into cool casual wear when at sea in these climes.
    • Alternate versions
      In the late-'80s Greenwood Video released a 69 minutes cut version of the movie in West Germany. E.g. the end credits are missing.

    Lacklustre

    I note that one reviewer used the word finest in conjunction with Harry Alan Towers.Now that is the most incongruous choice of adjectives for the purveyor of schlock.The film is suggested by the character of Sanders.I suggest it is suggested by desperation.The story only comes together in the last ten minutes.Prior to that it is lethargic if not inert.There is a storyline about a sunken dredger which is virtually abandoned.Just don't bother with this.It's rating of 4.9 is generous.
