Previewing "Deep Waters" (1948) for a screening next week. Typical postwar Fox hokum, but it was filmed in this area -- mostly on one of the islands off the coast, but a few scenes right here in town. Dana Andrews is all glowery as a leather-jacket wearing lobsterman, and Jean Peters is his welfare-worker girlfriend. The story is a lot of bunk about an orphan boy learning the ways of the sea, but the show is stolen by Cesar Romero as Andrews' "Portuguese" sternman. Yeah right, we used to have an Iberian population here, but he moved away.
I love Dana Andrews. He's one of my all-time favorite Golden Era stars.
