  • Title: UNO SGUARDO AL FONDO MARINO [Main Title]
  • Film Number: COI 61
  • Other titles: A GLIMPSE OF THE SEA-BED [Translation]
  • Summary: A few aspects of marine natural history.
  • Description: The film opens with material suggesting (via scenic shots and two girl swimmers) the attraction of the coastline and the fascination of marine life, but the difficulty of studying it. Shots of a diver provide the link with the 'underwater film' (most of which nevertheless gives the impression of being taken in an aquarium): various types of fish and starfish, crabs and hermit crabs are shown; also the mating of two squids.
