The Sharkfighters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sharkfighters is a 1956 American film about U.S. Navy scientists working to invent a shark repellent to help protect military personnel at sea. Directed by Jerry Hopper, it starred Victor Mature, James Olson, and Claude Akins.
Plot
In 1943, U.S. Navy scientists and civilian marine biologists collaborate to devise a shark repellent to help downed World War II pilots in shark-infested open water. One scientist, however, cuts corners to finish the project more quickly, and the ineffective repellent results in a young man being killed. The repentant scientist attempts to redeem himself by creating a proper repellent, even at the cost of his own life.
Adaptations
The film was adapted as the Dell Comics comic book Four Color #762 (Jan. 1957), cover-titled The Sharkfighters. The 34-page story, by an unknown writer, was penciled and inked by John Buscema.
