Mermaids of Tiburon uncut in color on DVD

You Won't Believe Your Eyes!

in glorious color in the original letterboxed version, featuring new footage of topless models acting like mermaids. It's nice to have the 'nude' version, the story arc revolves around our hero's innocent pursuit of this untouchable goddess of the sea (there are glimpses of other mermaids but Diane Webber reigns supreme). Director John Lamb's photography brings this world to life, even including a scene with Diane swimming alongside a (possibly fake) shark. Timothy Carey's gratuitous villain spearguns a topless mermaid, and strips another of her lone seaweed garment. His intrusive presence disrupts the film's charming narrative, which is left unresolved as the hero vows to return someday. Until a better mermaid film comes along, this one manages to enter their world better than any other.
