Beneath the 12-Mile Reef Blu-ray Review

20th Century Fox’s third Cinemascope release after the tremendous successes of The Robe and How to Marry a Millionaire was Robert D. Webb’s Beneath the 12-Mile Reef, a mediocre adventure tale that makes the most of its beautiful and atmospheric Florida location photography and its appealing cast.

Why is that image 1.33:1? It appears to be a colorized B&W publicity still from the production and not an actual screenshot. The film is presented in 2.55:1 on this release, correct?

I got the picture from Google Images. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the transfer on the disc.

+1 -- great review and good info, Matt!

Due to the confusion, I have swapped out the original top art picture with something more fitting.

Thanks Matt!

Glad to hear the directional dialog is included. Many of the 1950's Fox films had it.

The picture quality on this movie, as the review says, is excellent.
