Boy on a Dolphin (1957)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col/scope 111m
Director: Jean Negulesco
Cast: Alan Ladd, Sophia Loren, Clifton Webb

Synopsis:

A local diver finds a priceless artefact while fishing for sponges, and wants to give it to an archaeologist for the Greek museum, but others have more mercenary plans for it.

Review:

Pretty hoary melodrama, with the star dwarfed in more ways than one by his statuesque co-star, and with one hilarious piece of under-cranking near the end as they tumble into a clinch. It is remembered exclusively now for the scene where Loren rises from the sea in her clinging wet robe, an image to grace many a wall since, and one far superior to Ursula Andress's Aphrodite moment in Dr No.
