Odd movie. Zane Grey vanity project about his visit to Australia with Grey playing Grey. Frank Harvey cobbled together a plot about it involving a search for a shark that killed the wife of some old weirdo on an island; the old weirdo has a hot daughter who romances some young kids ; an anti-animal cruelty person bumbles raound.
It's creaky but there are benefits - location filming, the kids are young but look fit and charm, the fact it stars Grey as himself (he looks like someone playing himself), the shots of boats and fishing, presence of Aboriginal Australians and Islanders.
The comic relief Alfred Firth subplot is very unfunny.
