RAIDERS FROM BENEATH THE SEA-1964-Bill
(Ken Scott), a scuba diver hatches a plot to rob a bank on Catalina
Island. He enlists his ex-friend Tucker (Russ Bender) to help him.
Bill plans to scuba over from the main island to where the money is
kept. Meanwhile his deadbeat brother Buddy (Garth Benton) spies on
Bill's wife Dottie (Merry Anders) while she undresses. Somehow Buddy
and a trouble maker named Perdy (Booth Colman) nozzle in on the
caper. However before the big heist Bill catches Buddy putting the
moves on Dottie and nearly kills him. They pull off the robbery but
Tucker dies and then complications set in resulting in Bill being
killed and Perdy and Buddy being arrested. Dolly watches the whole
thing from afar.
Director Maury Dexter (THE DAY MARS INVADED EARTH)
had been making low budget crime dramas (and westerns) for a while.
After this he went on to make MARYJANE and HELL'S BELLES and a few
others before going into TV (namely THE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE).
It's pretty boring but has cool “Telstar” like music.
Thanks for reading!
