    Corman attempts comedy

    This film has all the usual 'B' feature characteristics associated with Roger Corman's films from the 1950's - one dimensional villains, even cheaper not-so-special effects, and 'trailer-trash' women. Where it differs is that it is an attempt at a black comedy, but it doesn't work - the gags and scenarios are so simplistic and predictable that they don't attract your attention away from the appalling acting going on elsewhere. The setting is quite good, smuggling Cuban VIPs to the US was going on at this time due to Castro's take over in Cuba, but I'm not sure how the villain in the story intended to bump them off while keeping their money and claiming that a sea monster did it would be accepted by the FBI! The said monster is slightly larger than a man and appears to consist of lots of bits of ragged cloth stitched together with two ping-pong balls for eyes. I have not read Corman's autobiography but I doubt that he claims this as one of his masterpieces...
