Hoping to jumpstart the flagging 3-D craze, 20th Century Fox combined its widescreen CinemaScope process with stereoscopic photography to yield “the miracle of Stereo-Vision – the Dimension That Combines All Dimensions!” In actual fact, the film combined some stunning underwater photography with a heist movie screenplay by W. R. Burnett (The Asphalt Jungle) and direction by miniature-effects specialist Byron Haskin (The War of the Worlds).
