Trivia
Dennis Hopper's sailor suit was slightly darkened so it would read as white on film. During production, Hopper was spotted by military police who threatened to arrest him for wearing a dirty uniform.

Goofs
Sirens were not mermaids as stated in this movie, but were actually half female human / half bird, and there were only two or five of them depending on the stories. Mythology says that after Odysseus slipped by them, the Sirens dashed themselves onto the rocks, so none survived into the modern era.

Quotes
Water Witch: [in the Blue Grotto Bar, the Water Witch says to Mora that she is going to meet her people -- the Sea People! translated from Greek into English] "Soon you will encounter your people, my dear! Oh, yes, we will be meeting again very soon!"
[no wonder Mora was so upset by what she said!]

Crazy credits
'And so, all the night tide, I lie down by the side of my darling - my darling - my life and my bride, in her sepulchre there by the sea, in her tomb by the sounding sea.' Edgar Allen Poe (from 'Annabel Lee')

Early Hopper Mood Piece!

Fascinating study with great location and innocent performance by Dennis Hopper who looks about sixteen years old, but is actually in his late 20's. Linda Lawson is lovely and mysterious and it's always great to see Luanna Anders. I hope this film has some kind of cult following because it's so strange.

A 7 out of 10. Best performance = Dennis Hopper. This is on DVD now and fairly easy to find. If you're a Hopper fan, this is a must-see. Great black and white cinematography and eery feel the entire film that is unexplainable. This should definitely have a higher rating by IMDb voters (in my opinion).
