## 🎬 Creature from the Haunted Sea (1961) – Public Domain – Horror | Comedy | Crime
**Creature from the Haunted Sea** is a delightfully campy 1961 horror-comedy directed by the legendary **Roger Corman**. Written by **Charles B. Griffith**, the film was famously shot in Puerto Rico on a shoestring budget immediately following the production of *Last Woman on Earth*. It is widely celebrated for its absurd monster design, its satirical take on spy thrillers and gangster films, and its "so bad it's good" charm that has made it a staple of cult cinema.
As a 1961 production that entered the **Public Domain**, it represents the peak of Corman’s "guerrilla filmmaking" era, blending low-budget creature effects with a witty, self-aware script.

## 📖 Plot Summary
Set during the aftermath of the Cuban Revolution, the story follows a crooked American gambler, Renzo Capetto (Antony Carbone), who sees an opportunity to steal a fortune in gold.
**The tropical heist features:**
* **The Gold Smuggling Plot:** Capetto agrees to help a group of loyalists escape Cuba with the national treasury. His real plan, however, is to kill the soldiers and keep the gold for himself.
* **The "Fake" Monster:** To cover his tracks, Capetto invents a story about a mythical sea monster that is picking off the soldiers one by one. He uses various tools to create "monster tracks" and fake attacks.
* **The Real Creature:** In a classic comedic twist, a *real* prehistoric sea monster actually exists in the haunted waters. It begins to hunt Capetto’s crew and the soldiers, leading to genuine chaos.
* **The Bumbling Spy:** The film features "Sparks" Moran (Edward Wain, a pseudonym for screenwriter Robert Towne), an incredibly inept undercover agent who narrates the film with a "hard-boiled" tone that contrasts with his complete lack of competence.
* **The Final Confrontation:** The narrative builds to a high-key, ridiculous climax where the survivors must face the bulging-eyed creature while still trying to secure the stolen loot.
---
## 🎥 Style & Legacy
* **Roger Corman’s Resourcefulness:** Shot in just a few days using the same cast and crew as his previous film, Corman maximized every dollar, utilizing the natural beauty of the Puerto Rican coastline to create a "prestige" look on a B-movie budget.
* **The Monster Design:** The creature—famous for its "tennis ball" eyes and shag-carpet skin—is one of the most iconic "cheap" monsters in film history, often cited as a prime example of imaginative low-budget practical effects.
* **Satirical Tone:** Unlike straightforward horror films of the era, this movie pokes fun at the tropes of the Cold War, film noir, and the monster movies that Corman himself helped popularize.
* **High-Contrast Cinematography:** The film utilizes bright, high-key tropical lighting. This ensures 100% visibility of the action during the beach sequences and the hilariously clear details of the monster during its underwater attacks.

00:00:34Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:01:06Oh, no, no.
00:01:49Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:08Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:30I had to go to the Santa Domingo bar, and I had to find Agent XK120, whom I'd never met.
00:02:56I looked around the room.
00:02:58Long training and my own instinct told me that the girl sitting at the table seemed the most likely prospect.
00:03:04All right.
00:03:34The king is dead.
00:03:37Long live the king.
00:03:45Is that supposed to be a political remark?
00:03:48I don't know anything about politics.
00:03:51Do you play?
00:03:53I never work if I can help it.
00:03:55I meant chess.
00:03:57It's a very interesting game.
00:03:59So is this one we're playing.
00:04:01Would you like a drink?
00:04:03I wouldn't mind.
00:04:04Waiter, bring us a bottle of Chateau Marmont, 1907.
00:04:101911 was a better year.
00:04:161911 it is.
00:04:18We don't have any Chateau Marmont.
00:04:19But we have a good Chateau Rien, 1922.
00:04:22Forget it.
00:04:23Make it a couple of rum cons.
00:04:25Kilo 58.
00:04:26Please sit here.
00:04:28I had to be sure it was you.
00:04:32XK120?
00:04:32Right.
00:04:34XK150?
00:04:34Right.
00:04:36Who's the waiter?
00:04:37One of them.
00:04:39Thinks I'm on their side.
00:04:46She was beautiful.
00:04:48I could have killed myself for wearing this stupid disguise.
00:04:52Now she would never know me as I really am.
00:04:55Tonight.
00:04:56We'll keep in touch by radio.
00:04:58You have the code.
00:05:00In point of fact.
00:05:02Yes.
00:05:03In point of fact.
00:05:05Yes.
00:05:06I've got my Dakota ring.
00:05:09Right.
00:05:10Pay no attention to me when I leave.
00:05:12Right.
00:05:18Aren't you going to kiss me goodbye?
00:05:20Right.
00:05:36You're going to miss.
00:05:38That's all...
00:05:47Come in.
00:05:56Yes archy.
00:06:03You can take my
00:08:29Oh, boy.
00:08:31Bravo.
00:08:32Bravissimo.
00:08:33But, of course, in order to finance a great counter-revolution, it has been necessary for us to steal the
00:08:43Cuban treasure.
00:08:44We're off.
00:08:45Shut up.
00:08:47Let us proceed.
00:08:49You're going to lose your casino, so you'll be leaving Cuba anyway.
00:08:53You have a big yacht, and you can leave anytime you wish, such as immediately.
00:08:58Therefore, I'm going to entrust you a solemn trust.
00:09:01Here we have one-fourth of the Cuban treasure.
00:09:05Your group, General Tostada, Coronel Cabeza Grande, and a squad of men will proceed to Ciudad Trujillo.
00:09:11There you'll wait for us to contact you and relieve you of the money, one-fifth of which will be
00:09:15paid to you.
00:09:16Do you understand?
00:09:31General Tostada, Coronel Cabeza Grande, Sr. Renzo Capetto, and...
00:09:36My name is Happy Jack Monaghan. Glad to meet you, Jim.
00:09:39Mis buenos amigos americanos, nos cabe el honor de preservar el honor del honor cubano.
00:09:45En un solemne acto de confianza han confiado en nuestras confiables manos ese botín con el cual reconstruiremos todo lo
00:09:53que Castro piensa construir.
00:09:55Yo saludo.
00:09:58And now, the gold.
00:10:23You two had better get into the car.
00:10:25The general does in English, Sr. Capetto.
00:10:28I'll be his translator for you.
00:10:31Bueno?
00:10:31Bueno.
00:10:32Bueno.
00:10:33Metanse al auto.
00:10:36Now it's time to go.
00:10:37Adios.
00:10:38Adios.
00:10:39I'll see you later, huh?
00:10:41Bueno.
00:11:15I'll be his purity.
00:11:15Oh, move on.
00:11:19I'll be his sister.
00:11:19Come for it.
00:11:19I can get to her.
00:11:23Oh, good Lord.
00:11:42The first move in the great conspiracy had been made.
00:11:46The Cuban treasury was now in the gentle hands of Renzo Capetto,
00:11:50the most trustworthy man ever to be deported from Sisolik.
00:11:54They thought they were smart,
00:11:56but little did they know that I, Sparks Moran, was an American agent.
00:12:00Luckily, I had been able to work my way into the crew
00:12:03by posing as a notorious gum machine burglar from Chicago.
00:12:07My real name is XK150.
00:12:10Hey, you. Come on down here and help with this.
00:12:14How'd it go, Boopsy?
00:12:16We had a hairy little chase, but we got the stuff.
00:12:20Crazy.
00:12:21Hey, Colonel Grande, you can bring your men aboard.
00:12:25What happens with all that mob?
00:12:27I don't know.
00:12:28I thought we'd just have an officer or two,
00:12:30but it looks like we're going to have a little difficulty.
00:12:34You think of a way to remove them and grab that loot?
00:12:38Because you're my big, strong, swinging brain.
00:12:44You're sweet, baby.
00:12:50Hi, sis.
00:12:52Hi, baby doll.
00:12:54Did they scare you?
00:12:55Ah, just a little.
00:12:56Oh.
00:12:57All right, boys.
00:12:58Get ready to go.
00:13:00Pete, take the wheel.
00:13:01Jack, you and, uh, Clarks, uh, Sparks, get ready to cast off.
00:13:15Well, well, this is a beautiful night for sailing.
00:13:19Good evening.
00:13:24And so we left Cuba forever,
00:13:27sailing into the most astounding adventure to be inflicted upon man.
00:13:31And what a group we were.
00:13:32The big cheese was Renzo Capetto,
00:13:36alias Capo Rosetto,
00:13:38alias Rato Pizzetti,
00:13:41alias Zeppo Staccato,
00:13:42alias Shirley Lamour.
00:13:45At 15, he served his first stretch for rolling a drunk
00:13:48in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria New Year's Eve, 1934.
00:13:52In 1940, he was involved in an unsuccessful attempt
00:13:56to nominate Benito Mussolini for the Republican ticket.
00:14:00During the war, he was rejected by the Navy, Marines, and the SS.
00:14:05Now deported, he has retained his contacts with the Syndicate
00:14:08and is still regarded as a dangerous character.
00:14:14Mary Bell Monaghan,
00:14:16alias Mary Monaghan Bell,
00:14:18alias Bell Mary Monaghan,
00:14:20alias Monaghan Mary Bell.
00:14:22They say she was a gun mall
00:14:23just because Lucky Luciano gave her a Rolls Royce every Christmas.
00:14:27And they can't really prove that she sneaked into the Hollywood Bowl
00:14:30with a tommy gun and rubbed out the convention of police chiefs in 1956.
00:14:34Oh, I know that she got nailed cold
00:14:36when she was pushing heroin in the laundry room at Boys Town.
00:14:39But I'm willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt.
00:14:43Especially when she's as crazy looking as Mary Bell.
00:14:45This is Happy Jack Monaghan.
00:14:49So called because he developed a muscle spasm in his cheeks
00:14:53from watching too many Humphrey Bogart pictures.
00:14:56Happy Jack's record is brief.
00:14:58His only crimes having been committed after his sister, Mary Bell,
00:15:02talked Renzo into giving him a job.
00:15:04Up until that time, Happy Jack had been a tennis bum,
00:15:08sleeping under the bleachers at Forest Hills
00:15:10and Mooching Nichols in the BMT subway.
00:15:13Since taking up with Renzo,
00:15:14he has become a well-known dice loader and murderer.
00:15:18The most obscure member of the dark quartet is Pete Peterson, Jr.,
00:15:23son of Pete Peterson, Sr., famed vaudeville bird mimic.
00:15:26Pete, Jr. inherited his father's talent for animal imitations,
00:15:30but unfortunately blew his brain out of whack
00:15:33while imitating a whooping crane at the Elks Convention picnic
00:15:36in Oshkosh in 1942.
00:15:38Since then, anyone has been able to convince Pete of anything.
00:15:42Renzo found him struggling along as a pickpocket at Jones Beach
00:15:45and took him with him in his exile.
00:15:48Since then, he has been Renzo's faithful servant,
00:15:51shining his shoes and rubbing out his enemies.
00:15:54In return, Renzo permits him to imitate any animal that comes into his head.
00:16:04That, for instance, was the mating call of the Himalayan yak.
00:16:09There they are, my shipmates.
00:16:12I didn't know where they were taking those unsuspecting Cubans,
00:16:15but I knew they were taking.
00:16:17And so, with grim faces, we set our helm against the perilous future.
00:16:21There they are.
00:16:22There they are.
00:16:24There they are.
00:16:26There they are.
00:16:28Okay, now, before I begin,
00:16:31does anyone have anything to say?
00:16:34Pete?
00:16:38How about you, Jack? What do you think we should do?
00:16:41Give up?
00:16:42Oh, now, honey, is there any way for Maribel's big man to talk?
00:16:46Now, look.
00:16:47We've got to get rid of at least half of these Cubans
00:16:50without making the rest of them suspicious.
00:16:57He used to be a Cuban fisherman by the name of Hemingway.
00:17:02He got hooked on a sea monster in these waters a couple of years ago,
00:17:07and he was dragged for miles.
00:17:09He's got a lot of publicity.
00:17:11We're going to show these boys the greatest sea monster they ever saw in their lives.
00:17:16Jack, in my trunk, there's some garden rakes used for weeding tomatoes.
00:17:21You get them and sharpen them like scalpers.
00:17:25Pete?
00:17:26You mix up a mess of olive oil and green ink
00:17:30and snag some seaweed from over the side.
00:17:32Now, Jack, what are you going to do?
00:17:36Sharpen up the garden rakes?
00:17:37Good boy.
00:17:39Pete?
00:17:40How about you?
00:17:44Does he have to do that?
00:17:46All right, Jack.
00:18:10We've had a good life together, haven't we, baby?
00:18:14You know it, Poops.
00:18:17Winter's in Tijuana.
00:18:20Summer's in Cicero.
00:18:23Remember that wonderful trip we took to Monte Carlo?
00:18:26You mean at the time we heisted all those hundred-dollar chips?
00:18:30Sure.
00:18:32I'll admit, I couldn't really hear anything through that door,
00:18:35but I was sure they were up to no good.
00:18:38I knew it was up to me to stop them.
00:18:42Now we're off again to parts unknown.
00:18:46It's like a second honeymoon.
00:18:49You know something?
00:18:51We ought to get married.
00:18:53Now don't be a drag, baby.
00:18:57How much Jack do you think's in that strong bar?
00:19:01There's plenty of Cuban sugar, though.
00:19:03What are we going to do with all of it?
00:19:09I don't know.
00:19:12I don't know.
00:19:13I always wanted to open up a home for the aged hoodlums.
00:19:17Baby, you got a heart as big as all our doors.
00:19:31A government agent lives in constant peril.
00:19:34I devised my undetectable radio set using simulated hot dogs for knobs and tubes inside of dill pickles,
00:19:42while watching a number of sewer workmen during lunch hour.
00:19:46It comes in mighty handy, believe you me.
00:19:50One little slip and I could be headed for Davy Jones' locker.
00:19:55Hello, Havana. This is Agent XK-150.
00:19:59Over.
00:20:02I'm making my first official report.
00:20:05So far, not too much has happened.
00:20:08But I'm anticipating.
00:20:10Renzo Capetto and his gang are on board as suspected.
00:20:13I am with them.
00:20:15I will call you again soon, one of these days.
00:20:18This is Agent XK-150, signing off.
00:20:27Hey, what's happening?
00:20:29Just having a bite.
00:20:35Gee, that looks good.
00:20:37Do you mind if I join you?
00:20:51Good morning.
00:20:54Come to mama.
00:21:00Crazy.
00:21:09Good morning.
00:21:12Encantadora y hermosa María Viva.
00:21:15The general says,
00:21:17Good morning, you gorgeous, beautiful creature.
00:21:22Would you ask the general to remove himself from my presence?
00:21:28Eh, ella dice que, muy buenos días para usted, mi general.
00:21:33Usted para mí es como una flor del mar,
00:21:36como un ángel de Neptuno sonriéndole al mundo.
00:21:41The general says you had a,
00:21:43you had a,
00:21:45golden angel power,
00:21:47thinking.
00:21:49Would you tell the general that I feel that he'd be most at home,
00:21:53barbecuing slowly over a hot spit?
00:21:56Eh, ella dice que mi general es un hombre muy digno y de gran empuje.
00:22:07You must be a glutton for punishment.
00:22:11You must be a glutton for punishment.
00:22:14What do you want?
00:22:21Oh, now, what do you want?
00:22:23You're too good for this life.
00:22:25No.
00:22:26You're young and you're innocent.
00:22:27You should get out.
00:22:29All I get to you is good.
00:22:33Are you unwell?
00:22:35The getting is great.
00:22:37You're a victim of circumstance.
00:22:40I try.
00:22:42I do try.
00:22:43You're a crazy mixed up kid.
00:22:46I am perfectly adjusted to my life of crime.
00:22:49Now, what is your story?
00:22:51Oh, well, you see, I'm beyond help.
00:22:53But you're not.
00:22:54You can find a clean young man to marry and...
00:22:56I haven't got the time.
00:22:58But I can help you, Mary Bell.
00:23:01You can turn blue.
00:23:03Don't worry, Mary Bell.
00:23:05I'll save you.
00:23:06Or die.
00:23:10That's a comforting alternative.
00:23:20A secret agent should never sleep.
00:23:22But there I was, dreaming of Mom's apple pie.
00:23:26While up on deck, Renzo and his cutthroats were taking the first step.
00:23:31Killing an innocent Cuban.
00:23:33And pretending some imaginary monster did it just so they would be panicked into changing course.
00:23:38So that Renzo could steer them to his own picked destination.
00:24:02See, wait one minute then give the alarm.
00:24:11But what none of us knew was that the monster invented by Renzo had already been invented by somebody else.
00:24:19By a couple of other monsters, I guess.
00:24:34No!
00:24:35No!
00:24:43P-P-Police!
00:24:45Might as well.
00:24:46And the monster!
00:25:06what did he say did you know what happened well i have an idea if you'd like to hear
00:25:13please go ahead well i don't think it was anything human that killed your soldier
00:25:20seen the tracks and the claw wounds on their bodies now in my studied opinion
00:25:28those soldiers were attacked by some weird creature from the sea came in did your boys in and vanished

00:25:56silencio

00:32:03They'll make you forget the war.

00:32:21I met you somewhere in 52.
00:32:33You kissed me somewhere.
00:32:39Oh, boy, with you.
00:32:45Oh, kiss me, baby.

00:33:42And that creature from the haunted sea.
00:33:49You'll never need to fear.
00:33:58Ahoy there.
00:34:00You're looking for some gold that was stolen from the people of Cuba.
00:34:03Oh, kiss me, baby.
00:34:12Come here.
00:34:23You're going to have to come aboard.
00:34:25We're Americans on a pleasure trip out here.
00:34:28Are you members?
00:34:29I don't think you've got any authority to search this ship.
00:34:37I think this gives us the authority to search this boat.
00:34:43Well, as you see, there's nothing on board.
00:34:47I haven't seen anything. I'm going to take a look down below.
00:34:50He didn't sound like a Cuban to me.
00:34:53I figured in this situation I'd better stick with Renzo,
00:34:56so I decided to knock out the leader of the Cubans with a fish
00:35:00I had on the end of my line.
00:35:04Sparks!
00:35:15Hey, good work, Pete.
00:35:17Listen, we'd better check the boat and see if there's any others.
00:35:20Oh, kissy.
00:35:21Mary Bell, you can stop singing now.
00:35:27You have this terrific voice.
00:35:29Oh, if I could only push you overboard.
00:35:31Your talents are being allowed to molder away unknown to humanity.
00:35:36You could be a star.
00:35:39The toast of three continents.
00:35:40Your name in lights.
00:35:41Let me take you away and deliver you.
00:35:45I just can't believe that you're real.
00:35:48She was madly in love with me, only she didn't know it yet.
00:35:59I think I smell land.
00:36:01Are we almost there?
00:36:03Oh, about six or eight hours.
00:36:09Another lucky shooter.
00:36:10For the point.
00:36:16You're ravishing.
00:36:18You're sick.
00:36:19Listen, I have a plan.
00:36:20As soon as we get there, we'll wait for night.
00:36:24And when Renzo isn't looking, we'll jump off and swim for shore
00:36:27through shark-infested water so no one will follow us.
00:36:31Then we'll steal a sailing dinghy and head for Brazil.
00:36:35How do you like it?
00:36:37I think it's grand.
00:36:38You ought to do it.
00:36:40Well, I meant you, too.
00:36:43Honey.
00:36:44I wouldn't ride on the same bus with you.
00:36:49Now, Pete, I want you to listen carefully.
00:36:53Now, on the north coast of the Big Island,
00:36:56there's a teeny speck of land called La Isla del Borracho,
00:37:01named after one of Columbus's lieutenants.
00:37:04It should be deserted by now.
00:37:06We ought to be able to land there, huh?
00:37:10Good.
00:37:13Now, there's a reef around the island
00:37:15and a very narrow opening which we have to go through.
00:37:19I am going to run this yacht on the rocks
00:37:23right at the entrance.
00:37:25Now, during the panic, we'll take the strong box,
00:37:27load it on a skiff, and head for shore.
00:37:31Now, Pete, when we get over 30 feet of water,
00:37:34I'll give you a signal.
00:37:37And then I want you to capsize the boat.
00:37:41You understand?
00:37:44Later, Pete, we'll come back and dive for it.
00:37:48You understand everything?
00:37:50Sure.
00:37:51We hit the rocks,
00:37:53and then we put the box in a skiff,
00:37:55and then we dump it over 30 feet of water
00:37:57so we can come back and get it.
00:38:02And that's because it's filled with nitroglycerin.
00:38:04It shouldn't be on board anyway.
00:38:13Isla del Borracho.
00:38:14Look at the reefs.
00:38:21Reefs, they're ahead.
00:38:30We're starting through.
00:38:33Go!
00:38:35Go!
00:38:40Go!
00:38:41Go!
00:38:41Go!
00:38:43Go!
00:38:44Go!
00:38:45Go!
00:38:45Go!
00:38:48Go!
00:38:49Go!
00:38:50Go!
00:38:54I'll save you, I'll save you.
00:38:55Don't break it.
00:38:56No, do you like that, Marybill?
00:38:57Move your hands, sir.
00:38:59Very well.
00:39:00I won't leave you.
00:39:00I'll never leave you.
00:39:01We'll drown together.
00:39:02You demented.
00:39:03My lunchbox.
00:39:06My, what a short memory.
00:39:16You two go down.
00:39:18You two go down.
00:39:18Get the strongbox out of the safe.
00:39:19Go on.
00:39:27It's all right.
00:39:28Be calm, everybody.
00:39:30The boat's insured.
00:39:37For me, I'll just go down.
00:39:43Oh, you two go down.
00:39:51Good boy.
00:39:53Take the bullpen.
00:39:53Okay.
00:39:58We're coming out of the safe.
00:40:03Everything went according to plan.
00:40:06Renzo's and the Monsters.
00:40:19Roll, roll, roll your boat gently up the creek.
00:40:23Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, I'm going to be sick.
00:40:35You know, this reminds me of one time on Lake Minnetonka.
00:40:38Louise Schmidt and I were paddling along when what do you think happened?
00:40:57General says he'll have your order as soon as he can estimate the situation.
00:41:01Well, you can tell El General.
00:41:05Tell him he's through giving orders around here.
00:41:08Now look, you men have no money and you have no guns and you're on U.S. soil.
00:41:13That's all right, I'm on your side.
00:41:16Pete, I want you to search the island, see if anybody lives here.
00:41:20Jack, you take one of the lifeboats and row to shore.
00:41:24Make your way to San Juan and rent us a fishing boat and plenty of diving gear.
00:41:29Yeah, uh-huh. Come on, boy.
00:41:35Oh, Colonel, just even get your men to build us a lean-to or something to keep the rain off.
00:41:42Atencion!
00:41:44De frente!
00:41:45Marche!
00:41:46Marche!
00:41:53Un, two, un, two, un, two, un, two, un, two, un, two, un, two.
00:41:58Y-y-ya, el!
00:42:00Ahora todos al trabajar.
00:42:13Good day forever I won't be necessary
00:42:19Why? Well the way I figure that these Cubans aren't very much at diving
00:42:23But Jack, Pete and I are all pretty good spear fishermen
00:42:27We'll go down, find the strong box and hide it in a hole in the reef
00:42:32After that we'll tell the Cubans that it's no use and give up
00:42:38It'll be safe there for months, even years until we're ready to come back and get it
00:42:44You like it?
00:42:47Booksy, sometimes you are so smart you make me sick
00:43:28You have to leave it in theции
00:43:31But last year, they are so smart
00:43:38Hello operator, get me Havana, Cuba, 652-314, Cuba, six, cinco,
00:43:52dos, dos, tres, uno, cuatro. Oh, listen, I don't have the right change, so would you mind charging
00:44:01that to my home phone, which is in Washington, D.C., in the U.S.A.? It is 762-691.
00:44:11Estada Unida,
00:44:12Washington, uh, seis, uh, seis, uh, duo, seis, nueve, duo, whatever. Uh, right, thanks a lot.
00:44:28The service is terrific.
00:44:34Hello, Santa Domingo Bar. Is there a girl there playing chess? You're right, I want to talk to her.
00:44:44Hello. I'll give you all my utilities and all my railroads for Park Place.
00:44:51Not a chance. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect your $200.
00:44:58XK-120?
00:44:59Right, XK-150?
00:45:01Right. Listen, I, uh, I can't really talk now. I don't know exactly what's happening or where I am,
00:45:07but I have the feeling that this case is about to bust wide open.
00:45:12I can't talk now. Someone's waiting to use the phone, but I'll keep in touch. Did you get that?
00:45:16Repeat the last part of that message.
00:45:20I'll keep in touch. Did you get that?
00:45:25Right. Which way do I turn this Dakota pin?
00:45:29Left.
00:45:29Left?
00:45:30Right.
00:45:31Right.
00:45:32Right.

00:46:02Left?
00:46:02Oh, oh, oh.

00:47:11Oh, oh, oh.
00:47:32Oh, oh, oh.
00:47:47Oh, oh, oh.
00:47:53Oh, oh.
00:47:54Oh, oh.
00:47:54Oh, oh.
00:47:55Oh, oh.
00:47:55He's good.
00:47:55He's good.
00:47:56Where's the finder, Pete?
00:48:04Pete, aren't you going to introduce me to the lady?
00:48:06Isn't he beautiful, Renzo?
00:48:10Very lovely.
00:48:12Where did you meet?
00:48:17Oh, no.
00:48:18Oh.
00:48:19That must mean they're in love.
00:48:25I wish you many happy returns of the day.
00:48:28Oh, isn't that a ring you're wearing, miss?
00:48:30It's a wedding ring.
00:48:52It's a wedding ring.
00:49:04Carmelita?
00:49:05I'd like you to meet Renzo Capetta, my sister Maribel, Mr. Pete Peterson, and, well, I don't
00:49:12know who the large woman with him is.
00:49:14Porcina Perez.
00:49:15Hi.
00:49:16Hello, everybody.
00:49:18You found this woman in San Juan?
00:49:20Well, she was living in a sort of sorority house down by the docks.
00:49:24She's awful friendly.
00:49:27Why don't you come on with me, honey?
00:49:29I'll show you our sorority house.
00:49:34Senor Capetta, I have the honor to report that my men will be ready one hour.
00:49:38Ready for what?
00:49:40To dive to the Strandbox.
00:49:42You mean your men are divers?
00:49:44Yes.
00:49:45They are Cuban army frogmen.
00:49:48Olay.
00:49:53I had the situation well on hand.
00:49:56Mary Bell was weakening, as I'm sure you've noticed.
00:49:58Then she came into my life.
00:50:01I didn't see her coming, but somehow I sensed her presence and knew that my life was changed
00:50:05forever.
00:50:08Hello.
00:50:11Who are you?
00:50:17Sparks Moran.
00:50:19As a trained espionage agent, I could tell that she was attracted to me.
00:50:23But I wanted Mary Bell.
00:50:25And Mary Bell wanted Renzo.
00:50:27And Renzo wanted the gold.
00:50:29Hey!
00:50:30Hey!
00:50:32Sparks!
00:50:33Sparks!
00:50:34Idiots!
00:50:34Let's keep this thing firm.
00:50:36You all right?
00:50:37Oh, yes.
00:50:39Oh!
00:50:40Oh!
00:50:41Oh!
00:50:42All right.
00:50:42We're ready.
00:50:43We'll just keep it on.
00:50:44I don't know, but I'm ready.
00:50:47Vamos, soldados cubanos!
00:50:49A submergirnos!
00:50:53A submergirnos!
00:50:57Oh, no!
00:51:00Oh, no!
00:51:04No!
00:51:10No!
00:51:11Oh, cringles.
00:51:12No!
00:51:13ha ha ha!
00:51:16All right.
00:51:17I'll need that.
00:51:23Goodbye.
00:51:29Good luck, Phool ooksy.
00:52:10The search for the strongbox had begun, but the sea was cluttered up with Cubans, dispersed by General Tostata to
00:52:18search independently.
00:52:20All those Cubans alone in the deep. This was a chance for Renzo to again become the sea monster.
00:52:32A lonely Cuban had found one of the many wrecks on the bottom.
00:52:41And Renzo had found the lonely Cuban.
00:53:11The End
00:53:16The victim was dead, the killers delighted, but not satisfied.
00:53:23Renzo must have another quart of Latin blood.
00:53:31We waited, sensing the dangers below, while the unholy three sought new prey.
00:53:46It didn't take them long to find it.
00:54:02What happened to them? What's this, Charles?
00:54:04No, it was a monster.
00:54:05What do you mean a monster?
00:54:06A real, live, honest-to-goodness monster with claws and everything.
00:54:10Oh, you're nuts. Hold this thing.
00:54:12Carmelita, it's too dangerous for you here.
00:54:14Let's run away and live a little.
00:54:16No, no, I'm in love with Sparks.
00:54:18Sparks Moran?
00:54:19Let's see.
00:54:20Well, how can you be in love with him? He's an idiot.
00:54:22You ought to be in love with me.
00:54:23No, I'm in love with him.
00:54:24And I don't care if he'll never see you again.
00:54:29Oh, if I'd only pay my life insurance premium, I'd kill myself.
00:54:32Oh, no, no, no. Don't kid yourself.
00:54:36Well, why now?
00:54:36No, you come with me. I'll show you.
00:54:38Come with me to the jungle.
00:54:39You've seen one jungle, you've seen another.
00:54:41You come with me, you'll see and you'll like.
00:54:47Hello, Charles.
00:54:48Senor, I'm very much afraid of this monster.
00:54:52Well, let's not pick up and go home.
00:54:54No. I am an officer.
00:54:57We will not stop until we have the strumbags.
00:55:00From now on, we'll dive with spear guns.
00:55:03Crazy.
00:55:16Mango!
00:55:18Mango!
00:55:24Mango!
00:55:50Oye.
00:55:53La novia lo dejó ahora por un idiota y el pobrecito, tú sabes, quería matarse.
00:56:03I was telling her what that no good of Carmelita do to you.
00:56:07I was telling her to cheat you up.
00:56:10Gee, thanks, Porcina.
00:56:12But it really wasn't necessary.
00:56:14You don't like mango?
00:56:16Oh, yeah, I like it.
00:56:18Siento mucho lo que le ha pasado, señor.
00:56:21Es algo que le pasa a todo el mundo con mucha frecuencia.
00:56:25Es lo mejor.
00:56:26She no speak good English, señor.
00:56:29Well, I don't think that's going to matter at all.
00:56:33Okay, I'm going back now.
00:56:36Mr. Peterson, Jr.
00:56:38He is waiting for me now.
00:56:40Adios, Porcina.
00:56:41Adios.
00:57:05He is waiting for you.
00:57:07He is waiting for me.
00:57:08I have to quit for you, right?
00:57:25Are you all right, Porcino?
00:57:27Oh, I'm all right, my hero.
00:57:31Hey, what's happy, Jack?
00:57:34Oh, come on.
00:57:35I'll take you to them.
00:57:37Them?
00:57:37Yes.
00:57:39Oh, I don't know what you said, Manga.
00:57:48But it sure was wonderful.
00:57:50Mi madre quiere que yo sea agradable con los extranjeros.
00:57:53Es como una especie de bienvenida para los turistas.
00:57:57I feel the same way, Manga.
00:58:00Well, I never felt like this in my whole life before.
00:58:05A ella le gusta que yo los entusiasme
00:58:07para poder venderle sombreros de palma de coco y sandalias.
00:58:11Oh, I know, Manga.
00:58:13I know.
00:58:19Well, here come Keaton Porcino.
00:58:21Se parecen a los premios más baratos en una galería de tiro.
00:58:28Hi, Jack.
00:58:29Who's your friend?
00:58:30Well, this is Manga Perez, Porcina's daughter.
00:58:32Gee, she's almost as pretty as her mother.
00:58:35Yeah, she's wonderful.
00:58:36Yeah, but can't she do imitations?
00:58:38Well, I don't know.
00:58:39And I don't care, because I love her.
00:58:41Gosh, you're going to marry her?
00:58:44Yeah, well, why not?
00:58:46Why not?
00:58:47If you marry Manga, and I marry Porcino, I'll be your father.
00:58:52Woo-hoo!
00:58:54What kind of a boy call is that?
00:58:55Oh, we cannot talk here.
00:58:58We cannot talk.
00:58:59My moushugan and hofugan.
00:59:00He may be trouble.
00:59:03Yeah.
00:59:03I just had a fight with him.
00:59:05You know, Pete, I'm getting tired all this running around.
00:59:10You know what I'd like to do?
00:59:13I'd like to marry Manga and settle down here.
00:59:17Well, I could start a tennis club.
00:59:19They don't have clubs.
00:59:21They have rackets.
00:59:23You know, you're right.
00:59:24But you know something, though?
00:59:26I'd like to do the same thing myself.
00:59:29Say, why don't we rub them all out?
00:59:32And that's why we can keep the strong box for ourselves?
00:59:35Oh, yes.
00:59:36Well, even Mary Bell?
00:59:38Well, gee, I don't know about her.
00:59:41Well, she is my sister.
00:59:43Of course, we could keep her around to do the housekeeping.
00:59:46Sure.
00:59:47And she'll get over losing Renzo.
00:59:49Sure.
00:59:50Well, how about it?
00:59:50Is it a deal?
00:59:51Sure.
00:59:53Besides, they've been cheating on their income tax anyway.
00:59:56Ay, ya, yo me estoy cansando de esta jeringonza.
00:59:58Vamos a nadar, ¿quién?
00:59:59Uh, Manga.
01:00:00No, she won't go swimming.
01:00:02All right.
01:00:03Oh, that's why.
01:00:05Sparks, Sparks, where's Pete and the boys?
01:00:08They know we should be diving this afternoon.
01:00:10I think they're somewhere in the jungle.
01:00:16Señor, usted me está proponiendo una cosa sucia.
01:00:19Le exige una satisfacción.
01:00:21What's this?
01:00:22What is this?
01:00:23This man's wife is playing around.
01:00:26Mr. Pete is very angry.
01:00:28That's tough.
01:00:29Mire, lo único que puedo hacer es venderla.
01:00:32Yo creo que cincuenta dolares y una cajada de caldilla está en orden.
01:00:35This man wants to sell you his wife for fifty dollars and a case of wrong.
01:00:39That'll be nuts.
01:00:41Ay, te dice que está loco.
01:00:42Gen, yo no acepto esa clase insulto a nadie.
01:00:45Ahora decimos cien dolares.
01:00:47Carmelita, will you talk till we're busy?
01:00:49Oh, sure.
01:00:50I will tell him to cut down to twenty for a fifth of gin.
01:00:55Gin nothing.
01:00:56Who wants to buy his improbable wife?
01:01:00Come on, General Testado.
01:01:01Let's get going.
01:01:03Soldados cubanos, de nuevo a sumergiendos.
01:01:08Una, dos y tres.
01:01:12Una, dos y tres.
01:01:15Una, dos.
01:01:17Dos.
01:01:18Ah.
01:01:19Tres.
01:01:21Ah.
01:01:26All right, baby.
01:01:28Listen, you hold on to these because I can't use them without Peter Jack to help me.
01:01:32I'll keep them warm for you.
01:01:50Woo-hoo-hoo!
01:02:05You're it, you're it!
01:02:24Renzo Capetto had at last found the strong box. And the unknown partner had found Renzo Capetto.
01:03:09You're it, you're it, you're it!
01:03:19You're it, you're it, you're it!
01:04:07Renzo Capetto
01:04:09Renzo! Renzo!
01:04:22Renzo! Renzo!
01:04:26Renzo! Renzo!
01:04:28Renzo Capetto
01:04:39Renzo! Renzo!
01:04:44Renzo!
01:04:46Renzo!
01:05:07Renzo!
01:05:21Renzo Capetto
01:05:38Renzo Capetto
01:05:47Renzo Capetto
01:05:50Renzo Capetto
01:05:52Renzo Capetto
01:05:55Renzo Capetto
01:05:56Renzo Capetto
01:06:18Renzo Capetto
01:06:19Renzo Capetto
01:06:19Renzo Capetto
01:06:19Renzo Capetto
01:06:20Renzo Capetto
01:06:21Renzo Capetto
01:06:22Renzo Capetto
01:06:22Renzo Capetto
01:06:23Renzo Capetto
01:06:24Renzo Capetto
01:06:30Renzo Capetto
01:06:36Renzo Capetto
01:06:43One pulled away, and then there were two.
01:06:58Tostada went on alone into the forbidding void,
01:07:01with the killers closing in.
01:07:23The giant observer stood watching over a pathetic bit of cloth, all that remained of mango.
01:07:31At last, Tostada had found his gold in his own watery grave.
01:07:57Tostada went on to the
01:08:13The general died as all generals should.
01:08:16His greedy murderers let his body drift away while they congratulated each other.
01:08:27Happy Jack found the scrap of address and knew what had happened to his beloved.
01:08:32Suddenly.
01:08:45The End
01:08:56Don't touch me.
01:08:57Oh, honey.
01:08:58Go ahead. Try to talk yourself out of it.
01:08:59Try to talk yourself cool this time.
01:09:01Baby.
01:09:02All right. Tell me the Cubans did it. Only they were on board, pulling into the general. Now, who was
01:09:06down there with Jack?
01:09:07No, baby. You've got to believe me.
01:09:08I don't ever have to look at you again.
01:09:17Prince.
01:09:19Mary Bell, I saw what he did to you. They killed your brother.
01:09:21And now you've got to leave, Mary Bell, and there's no one to help you but me.
01:09:25Oh, Mary Bell, I love you so much I could split you.
01:09:28Hey, get on!
01:09:34What do you do to my man?
01:09:36Oh, shut up!
01:09:50It was dusk.
01:09:52I could tell because the sun was going down.
01:10:00You were right, senor.
01:10:02Colonel, all my army is finished.
01:10:05I knew when the general died.
01:10:08I don't care about the boxing moller, the mosque, or the people.
01:10:11I don't want him to kill any more of my men.
01:10:15Neither do I, Colonel.
01:10:17I think we must go to Ciudad Trujillo in the morning.
01:10:20You can go anywhere you like.
01:10:22I'm going home.
01:10:24To America?
01:10:26America?
01:10:29No, I can't go back there anymore.
01:10:33Sicily, Paul.
01:10:36I've got an uncle there who's been after me for years to help him stamp grapes.
01:10:41It's beginning to appeal to me.
01:10:47Mary Bell hates me.
01:10:50I know.
01:10:52But I love you.
01:10:54It's kind of nice having somebody love you.
01:10:59Why don't you try to love me?
01:11:02You might like it.
01:11:04I guess I can try.
01:11:07She pressed her hot Latin lips against mine.
01:11:10And I forgot everything but Carmelita.
01:11:13But our silent partner was not going to let me forget.
01:11:18This was it.
01:11:19There was but one thing a responsible, trusted representative of the United States government could do at a time like
01:11:24this.
01:11:24Get out of there.
01:11:27Mary Bell.
01:11:29Yes?
01:11:30Honey.
01:11:32I'd just like one more chance to explain.
01:11:35Please.
01:11:37It's all right, Booksy.
01:11:39It doesn't really matter.
01:11:41No matter where you go, or what you do, or...
01:11:44...who you kill.
01:11:47I love you till the day I die.
01:12:05Heard fire!
01:12:07Heard fire!
01:12:10Heard fire!
01:12:11Wow!
01:12:12Heard fire!
01:12:13Oh, fuck!
01:12:18Heard fire!
01:12:19Heard fire!
01:12:43Renzo loved Mary Bell, but he was the skipper
01:12:45and decided to go down ahead of his ship.
01:13:10He was the king of mine, but he was the king of mine.
01:13:26THE END
