This movie is a real oddity, the majority of it is silent while the beginning had a sound sequence with a lot of Lionel Barrymore talking. Very oddly, his hair is considerably darker, different styled and he looks almost 10 years younger in the speaking segment than he does in the silent part of the movie. The under water scenes make this movie watchable. Both the underwater gear and the little creatures are well done and interesting.
