MERMAIDS OF TIBURON 1962 (DVD-R)

Interesting fantasy film about a marine biologist who goes off in search of giant pearls and discovers a race of Mermaids who actually come to accept that he is not threat to them.
Timothy Carey is terrific as a man who is also looking for the pearls and will kill anyone who gets in his way including a boat pilot played by Jose Gonzalez Gonzalez and an elderly scientist played by John Mylong. Carey is over the top as usual, and it really makes the movie.
Diane Webber is the Mermaid who the biologist played by George Rowe, is attracted to.
A print has been released on DVD in color, but mine is in Black and White. Still, this is an interesting and very obscure film and one well worth checking out. There is an Adults only version of this film with the mermaids swimming topless, but whatever version you get, I recommend it highly.
