1960 Low Budget Film, 19 January 2009
5/10
Author: whpratt1 from United States

This film deals with two brothers who want some answers dealing with a missing ship and the whereabouts of their brother who was the captain of the ship. The boys mother wants her sons to investigate how a ship could disappear on a very clear day with nothing to cause a ship wreck. The search starts around the Purple Reef with very little success along with a few other interested parties lead by bad guy Peter Falk, (Tom Walker) who is also looking for hidden treasure. There is a woman who finally appears towards the end of the film who acts very poorly. If it were not for Peter Falk appearing in this film, it would probably would never have been viewed by the public. This film is a big disappointment, but you do have to consider it was produced in 1960 and on a very very low budget.
