“Wagner and Moore replay Romeo and Juliet in Tarpon Springs, Florida, with rival sponge fishermen standing in for the Montagues and Capulets…Best remembered for the incredibly young Robert Wagner scrapping with an octopus (you won’t get that in staged Shakespeare).”
– Time Out London
“Gives punch in the display of underwater wonders, the seascapes, and the brilliant, beautiful sunrises and sunsets of the Florida Gulf Coast.”
– Variety
One of the earliest CinemaScope™ pictures, Beneath the 12-Mile Reef (1953) takes us deep into the crystal-clear, perilous waters off the Florida coast, where two rival sponge-diving families produce a boy (Robert Wagner) and a girl (Terry Moore) who of course fall for each other, hard. Stunning widescreen underwater cinematography by Oscar® nominee Edward Cronjager and a staggeringly atmospheric score from the one and only Bernard Herrmann are added attractions.
