A crew is assembled for a submarine which will plant earthquake sensors in the ocean floor around the world. The scientists spend most of the time bickering among themselves, mainly over female scientist Shirley Eaton. It doesn't help when she takes breaks by swimming in front of them wearing a bikini. Nonetheless, their incredibly sexist points-of-view ruins an otherwise routine story, with good underwater photography but more than one scene of science fact instead of science fiction. I was particularly amused by how fast Lloyd Bridges took his shirt off every time there was an emergency, and the fact that they remembered to save the guinea pigs but didn't hesitate to kill the giant eel.
