She said it was all her in the close-ups. Either way, the first three minutes of The Deep that includes shots of Miss Bisset/Kilbride are a classic. The rest of the movie?

Everything changes, of course, and wrecks do tend to deteriorate with storms helping to flatten them, but the lack of fish was disturbing. I'm hoping it was just the season. It was summer way back when I dived on it last. To confirm, I'll go have a look this July. After all, any wreck that once had Jacqueline Bisset diving on it in a wet t-shirt must be preserved for future generations!
