A romanticised tribute to Commander Lionel Crabb (who's mysterious death was currently making headlines, a fact not mentioned in the film), strangely personified by Laurence Harvey in bleached hair and a beard.
Set in Gibraltar, it's of historical interest as containing probably the only depiction in a feature film of the plane crash that killed General Sikorski, while the ensuing underwater battle between rival frogmen almost certainly inspired the climax of 'Thunderball', which also employed underwater specialist Egil Woxholt to do the photography.
In the glamour stakes it fully matches the James Bond movie thanks to the presence of Dawn Addams uniformed as a W. R. N. And the awesome Gianna Maria Canale.
