THE NAKED SEA
(Allen H. Miner) N case the title should lead you to expect something overblown, I should mention first that this is a pleasant, unpretentious .documentary programme about the little "clippers" which’ sail out of San Diego (or Seattle or San Francisco) southward to the cold waters of the Peru and Humboldt currents to hunt the wandering schools of tunny, Tunny are a pretty important food fish in many parts of the world (the Japanese who got under the Bikini fall-out, you may remember, were after them), and the business of catching tunny in the Pacific entails special (and rather exciting) techniques which Allen H, Miner has effectively recorded here. Miner co-pro-duced, directed and photographed The Naked Sea (in colour), and he has mae a workmanlike and interesting job of it, I could have done with just aq little less slow-motion photography when they were swinging the 400-pounders aboard on three rods (and I’d like to have seen what happened once they were aboar?), But on the whole, The Naked Sea gives a pretty fair coverage. The shots of piratical pelicans, Galapagos iguanas and other wild life are often beautiful, and the glimpses of tropical storms most impressive.
