    This deep-sea exploration adventure was one of Lew Grade's most memorable flops. It cost a fortune, was touted as a major blockbuster and then proceeded to sink faster than the world famous liner on that fateful voyage in 1912. Jason Robards and Richard Jordan are among the unfortunate actors trying to raise the ship, believed to have a store of precious cargo in its hold, while Alec Guinness pops up as a crusty member of the Titanic's original crew. All the usual disaster movie ingredients are here (not surprisingly since the director is Airport '77's Jerry Jameson), but even a love triangle, a communist threat and lots of underwater photography cannot save this clunker from drowning.

    Very slow film

    The book by Clive Cussler was very good; very exciting and fast moving. The film was, unfortunately, the opposite!
