erroll f Sophia splashes in to American movies with her gorgeous , sexy watery presence. Right from go you know she is more than a pretty face and body. She has spunk! Her leading man Alan Ladd is terribly miscast. Only Clifton Webb as the greedy ,wealthy collector is able to steel a scene or Two from Ms Loren. Filmed on the beautiful Greek island of Hedra, this is a showcase for Sophia Loren. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Okay story is boosted by quality performers Clifton Webb and Sophia Loren in her big international breakthrough and dazzling Greek locations all in breathtaking color. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Oh my God, Sophia Loren is a Goddess! Her passion, her eyes. I was in love with her as a teen and as an old man still she is the one! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Corny-But superb location. Sophia looked great! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Sophia's first American film grabbed the international audience's attention and they never let go. She's a delight to watch as fiery Greek sponge diver Phaedra who discovers a sunken treasure, a sculpture from which the film gets its name (I had long wondered what the title meant). She needs help with salvaging and is torn between the services of two candidates. Clifton Webb can offer her a fortune but intends to sell the national prize illegally on the black market, whereas archaeologist Alan Ladd can only offer her a pittance reward but she will bring glory and pride to her country. Webb plays the suave and slightly condescending genteel criminal perfectly, but Ladd is barely adequate and well past his prime. Only in the movies would someone sculpted like Sophia Loren turn her head - or in this case, look down - to notice him as a romantic interest. And if you're ever vacationing on the island of Hydra and run into trouble, just ask for Niko - that kid can do anything! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The very dated adventure/romance set in the Greek Islands. It isn't a bad film but other than some stunning backgrounds & locations this film truly does fall short. Casting for this film was peculiar but the story gets lost a little mid way and it has many pointless scenes pushing a love story between Loren & Ladd despite having little chemistry together. There where so nice scenes here and there but I wish there was more story on the boy on dolphin itself, not a bad film just nothing special.
