And an "unforgettable" Herrmann score. He is pure genuis. Also a great scen with Gilbert Roland --- the father and Robert Wagner (son) when Roland tells his son that he is not ready to do the sponge diving.
This was the trailer seen on most "standard" screens in movie theaters in late 1953, as there was also a "CinemaScope" version available for wider screens [Fox saved their "big scenes" for that one]....music composed and conducted by Bernard Herrmann!
Unusual. This was one of the first three CinemaScope films released. Perhaps this flat format was needed for advance promotion when people still had 99% 1.37:1 screens. Thanks for sharing this.
