Victor Mature was self-deprecating about his acting ability, which has led to the myth that he wasn't very good. However, he's terrific in this interesting, entertaining movie about a World War II U.
****SPOILERS**** Beautifully tanned with a set of sparkling white teeth-like the sharks in the movie- hunk of a man Victor Mature is US Navy Lt. Cammander Ben Staves who risks his life to develop a shark repellent that can keep sharks away from their prey until help arrives.
The Big Victor(Victor Mature) in a film about the evolution of shark repellent 1950's style, before "Jaws". Shot with one camera adds o the one-dimensional aspect.
Nice on scene location cinematography in Batista's Cuba is the main asset of The Sharkfighters about a wartime naval experiment trying to find a proper shark repellent for sailors in the water after a battle where their ship came out on the losing end. Whether we win or the Japanese win, sunken ships mean only one thing for the sharks, one hardy feast.
Victor Mature spends more time drinking beer than fighting sharks in this shamefully bad film about a U.S.
This colorful B Movie, produced by Samuel Goldwyn Jr., is disturbing in several ways but completely engrossing because of its subject matter.
This movie is really pushed by the phenomenal score, conceived by Jerome Moross. Victor Mature gives a solid, quite cool performance as the stereotype hero.
