BEYOND ATLANTIS (1973). Possibly the most wholesome (meaning no excessive violence or Female nudity) Filipino 70's film. Regular Vic Diaz gets pearls for services and a group of somewhat shady characters want to get in on the spoils and try to avoid the angering the natives too much-check out the eyes!
Stunning underwater photography helps the plot-almost like TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE with how the characters change. Decent cast with Patrick Wayne, John Ashley and Sid Haig, who steals the film with a great line about what is "Sacred" to him. Could have been better, but not too bad. **1/2
