A thrilling scientific battle unfolds in a world of mystery and the unknown!
Although long treasured among tokusatsu fans, this work has remained elusive in general retail stores until now. As the 60th anniversary of its release approaches, it makes a triumphant return!
A remarkable Japanese-American co-produced sci-fi marine adventure featuring an unforgettable cast: legendary actors Joseph Cotten, Cesar Romero, Akira Takarada, and Masumi Okada. Witness the climactic battle between the submarine Alpha and the enemy vessel Black Shark, brought to life by the masterful hands of Eiji Tsuburaya in his final years. With fantastical elements like the Gryphon, bat-people, and the immune bath, this film leaves a lasting impression.
The exhilarating and heroic music of Akira Ifukube, capturing the thrill and adventure of the story, has been revived through the latest remastering by an engineer long experienced in handling Toho's tokusatsu soundtracks!
This 2-CD set takes you into a world of mystery and wonder, featuring the full original-length soundtrack, the domestic Japanese release version, and bonus tracks including alternate takes and sound effects.
