Fantastic!

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

a film like a Rubick cube . because it gives so many faces than remains more than a good adaptation of a novel but a sort of trip in the sensibility of a time. first because it could be a fairy tale. or a politic manifesto. or a lovely love story, remembering the Russian folklore. than, because, after decades, it remains fresh. for the special effects and story and acting. for the cultural references. and, in same measure, for its naive poetry. the clash of two worlds. and the fight for truth and justice. a noble cause. a beautiful girl. and the under water universe. it is enough for a form of magic who remains seductive after more than a half of century.

I just watched this movie. It was broadcasted by the public TV channel, during a midnight program, dedicated to cult films from everywhere. To say the truth, the strange location of the film was what made me to be interested and pushed me to search in the internet, specially when I noticed that some night city views in the middle of the film, were shot in Buenos Aires. You can see theatre marquees and commercial signs of that time made of neon light. The rest of the movie, I supposed it was shot in Mexico (except for the trucks, cars, etc. which were soviet style), but I read on a previous comment, it was Baku, Azerbaijan. Well, Another soviet movie!!...

Everything what is connected to the science fiction of Alexander Belyaev is almost perfect. I'm still a big fan of his eternal masterpieces and they start from Amphibian Man. I also recommend you to read Jump into the Void inspired by the upcoming Space era and exploration of the Venus. The movie Amphibian Man is surely one of the best among Soviet science fiction films starting beautiful Anastasiya Vertinskaya. The sun, the sea and an exciting storyline. Both the film and the book reached enormous attention in USSR and Vertinskaya and Korenev became a real superstars and well remembered for such a romantic duet

I have seen this movie as a child and I loved it. This movie must had made a great impression on me that I can still remember it till this day. I have been looking for it for several years now.
