This is an amazing, early - 1971 - documentary about Great White Sharks. Forty- plus years (egad!!!) of research since this film was shot, gives me a greater respect for these explorers! This team pretty-much only had anecdotal insights and few first-hand observations, from which to generate reliable behavioral-models for Great Whites. All the more courageous for them to get up close and personal with these magnificent sharks! This film also provides some interestingly tense-moments of teamwork issues that could have compromised any field expedition.
Fifteen years after the whale-bait sequences were shot, the International Whaling Commission accomplished a moratorium on whaling, as was wished for by these researchers as they trailed behind the harpoon ships to film some sharks' behaviors. This is an historical film and should be inspirational to those who wish to be first observers or researchers in any field!!!
