Beneath the 12-Mile Reef (1953)

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see Beneath the 12-Mile Reef in CinemaScope, as it ought to be enjoyed. This is a movie that is all about the photography – well, that and Robert Wagner's well-shaped torso – but on Amazon Prime, where you can watch it, you can only see a murky version of this film's true glory. As for anything other than this movie's images... the directing is a confounded mess, the beautiful score doesn't match the cinematography the way it should, and the plot is a nonsensical melodrama.

Still Beneath the 12-Mile Reef is interesting for its catalog of Greek-American–Conch relations in Florida, and its photography is very cool.
