I had first heard about this movie in the 1970's from a guy I worked with. He was a diver and boater, and loved the movie. I just finished viewing it at home on my Hi Def. I thought it was a decent movie. Good concepts, a little rough around the edges. Peter Gimbel seemed like an interesting character, kind of an NYC man about town. Probably a good guy to have a few beers with. As many people have commented, there are so many programs over the past twenty or thirty years that have dealt with sharks, that it is easy to forget that this was the first full length documentary dealing with the Great White. So, it deserves much respect as an historical piece. I was thinking that when these people were on the ship for that many months they missed a lot of 1969 things, Super Bowl III with Namath, The Village Gay riot, moon landing, Tricky Dick Nixon's first year in office (that was OK). And of course Woodstock. All for a fish.
