THE DEEP (1977) ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: Peter Yates
Robert Shaw, Jacqueline Bisset, Nick Nolte,
Louis Gossett, Eli Wallach, Robert Tessier
Sunken ships, deep sea divers, Spanish treasure, good guys, bad guys, sharks, a boatload of high explosives, 4,000 vials of morphine and Jacqueline Bisset in a famous wet T-shirt. This is pretty exciting as long as it stays underwater. Whenever it breaks to the surface, the actors are stuck with the script. Still, there's that T-shirt. Screenplay by Peter "Jaws" Benchley, based on his novel.
