Product Description

Product Description

Marine adventure adapted from the novel by 'Jaws' author Peter Benchley. Gail Berke (Jacqueline Bisset) and David Sanders (Nick Nolte) are holidaying in Bermuda when they stumble across some hidden treasure in the high seas. Unfortunately, the 'treasure' they locate is a consignment of morphine, and this leads them into a deadly conflict with a gang of ruthless drug smugglers.

From Amazon.co.uk

An obvious attempt to cash in on the success of Jaws, this 1977 thriller was also based on a best-seller by Peter Benchley, and it features a memorable performance by Robert Shaw (the doomed shark hunter in Jaws) in one of the last roles of his career. Looking very tanned and healthy, Nick Nolte and Jacqueline Bisset play a young couple enjoying a tropical vacation who discover a glass ampoule while scuba diving off the coast of Bermuda. It takes a seasoned treasure hunter (Shaw) to identify the ampoule as part of a valuable shipment of World War II morphine lost at sea, coincidentally, atop the even greater treasure of a sunken Spanish galleon. Thus begins a race for drugs and treasure pitting Nolte, Bisset and Shaw against a ruthless drug lord (Louis Gossett Jr) who will do anything--even resort to Haitian voodoo--to get what he wants. It's all rather contrived and exploitative (after all, the movie's best known for Bisset's wet T-shirt scuba-dive), but as escapist entertainment goes it's got some exciting highlights including a moray eel that attacks on cue and... well, uh, Jacqueline Bisset in a wet T-shirt. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

The Deep is a film that I always associate will a small selection of other films such as King Kong 1976, Moonraker and Jaws to name but a few. Now this is not because they are similar but because of when I saw them. These are the films which in the mid 80s I was allowed to stop up after bedtime and watch so they all have this wonderful nostalgic quality that takes me back to a certain time and place. They were so full of adventure and intrigue, perfect for the young aspiring film buff I was.
Now a good 25 years on I still love the majority of these movies. Maybe is through rose tinted glasses or maybe its because I see these as proper movies and perfect escapism.
Along with Jaws it is fair to say that The Deep is my favourite. This really is to use the old cliche the type of film they just dont make anymore. Lavish and suspenseful with wonderful scope photography and a sweeping orchestral score by John Barry this is pure old fashioned entertainment.
The story is simple with holidaying couple Nick Nolte and Jacqueline Bisset(yes this is the movie with the infamous wet T-Shirt) scuba diving off the Bermudan coast. When they happen across a sunken WWII freighter they naturally investigate despite the wreak supposedly being out of bounds to tourists. After finding the usual useless items such as cutlery and the like they think they have found they're paycheck with what looks like a medallion and a small strange ampule containing an unknown liquid.
After a encounter with an Haitian drug dealer Cloche(Lou Gossett) they decide to seek the advice of old world wary treasure hunter Romer Treece(Robert Shaw) who happens to be a resident on the island and an expert on the surroung coastline.

Peter Benchley wrote Jaws and Deep both ,but this book has a subtle morality which seeped both the taut script and made the scuba diving adventure, which Peter Yates moulded from the best-selling book a humane drama cum a thriller .

Set off the boisterous and charming beaches of Bermuda ,a scuba diving couple played by Nick Nolte as a blond frisky yankee and his gorgeous wife Jacqueline Bisset are in search of an underwater bounty treasure sunk in a french 17th century ship, and they find not one but two treasures to mark a scalding adventure ,one is a world war 2 ship stashed with morphine,a drugs haven and the other an eighteenth century french royal merchantman conveying crown jewels .

They of course immediately are endangered by local thugs headed by Louis Goussett,who wants both the treasures and has no qualms to acquire either from indulging in rape to murder to vodoo ,but here comes the moral innuendo in the form of an excellent performer played with gusto by Robert Shaw -a conscientious metaphor for the pure,deep blue, infinite sea who is out to defeat the immoral yet he is no saint himself and this makes him credible as he is not depicted as a saint but a flawed human being.

The atmosphere created on land and on the yacht is both turgig and chilling ,and yet humoresque and the superb acting by all is convincing to say the least ,whether the conniving villains who despite being the Jamaican stereotypes are rather convincing.
The underwater sequences with sharks infesting the vessels and the pyrotechnics are spectacular and have never been seen after this endeavour to the same dextrous display of technical finesse .

"The Deep" was rushed into production after the success of another film adaptation of a Peter Benchley novel, - "Jaws" (1975). Robert Shaw even returns as essentially a slightly more sophisticated version of his "Capt Quint" character. When you throw in some great character actors and a beautiful Jacqueline Bisset at the peak of her looks, you know you wont be disappointed with the offering.

The story is concerned with the intrigue and danger that arises as a result of a holidaying couple (Nick Nolte and Jacqueline Bisset) accidentally discovering a ship wreck full of morphine. A joint plot involves their similarly accidental discovery of a haul of Spanish jewellery in a seventeenth century French ship wreck on the same reef as the other vessel.

The underwater scenes are excellent and as an adventure yarn it is great fun. There is an underlying "creepiness" to some of the Voo-doo scenes and at times it can be quite a scary adventure.

If you can ignore the obvious plot holes and coincidences, this is a must for any mystery / thriller fan.

Its also quite interesting to see how the fad of "Wet T shirt competitions" was originated by this film !

I just happened to catch this film by chance on TV a few years ago and was glued all the way through - from the dreamy opening sequence to the climactic end encounter, with sharks and baddies swarming around the heroes.

Made on the back of the success of Jaws, this is an often underrated and far superior tale to its predecessor - skillfully told on-screen, over the course of nearly two unhurried and totally absorbing hours; without ever dragging or feeling over-long in any way. The look of the movie may appear a little "retro" now, over 30 years after it was made; but it has outlasted so many of its comtemporaries, with a story that could be set at any point in time from the late sixties onwards, which would make a more than half-decent remake today.

Jacqueline Bisset's character (just forget the T-shirt for 5 minutes, will you?) serves as way more than cliched eye-candy-cum-damsel-in-distress; her feminine insight moving the story forwards at a key moment.

A finely-woven combination of adventure, romance and historical detective work makes this a film with something for everyone; to be enjoyed by singletons, couples and families alike. An absolute must-see - add it to your collection today!
