MARA CORDAY, PAT CONWAY & RALPH CLANTON IN 'UNDERSEA GIRL'

Pat Conway and Mara Corday in UNDERWATER GIRL Year: 1957 Rating: **1/2

By the ending of UNDERSEA GIRL, Mara Corday's titular character gets kidnapped by HOT CARS villain Ralph Clanton, above water, making navy investigator Pat Conway the real underwater star: although it's never that exciting since things are so slowed down down there...

Making this b-thriller a hybrid of revolving stories: one concerning Corday's feisty Nancy Drew-type reporter wanting the background-scoop on a suspicious dead body she finds while diving... leading to the crime-noirish aspect with Clanton's backstabbing gang slowly recovering their stolen loot...

Florence Marly and Ralph Clanton in UNDERWATER GIRL

Making the most worthwhile ingenue femme fatale/moll Florence Marly, whose seductive gaze and alluring attitude, flirting with a younger crook behind the old kingpin's back, isn't given enough time to matter since, like heroine Corday herself, Marly sort of randomly comes and goes...

All while Conway and hefty reliable cop Dan Seymour have backroom meetings about what the gang will do next, or how the stubbornly determined Girl-Friday might get in the way... of what's supposed to be her very own picture.
