I enjoyed this film. Too bad Wagner didn't have his diving gear with him when Natalie Wood went overboard.
A good film but it's hard for me to feel sorry for commercial fisherman.
If they could they'd take every last fish in the ocean, then complain that they can't make a living while blaming someone else. The big factory ships are the worst of all and they've been doing it for decades all around the whole world.
When I think of what's happened to the fish stocks here in the waters of New England over the last 50-plus years it's enough to make me want to cry.
