Around the World Under the Sea
Posted on 03:40 by john cena
Sort of a combination of SEA HUNT and VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, this Ivan Tors production starred Lloyd Bridges from the former as well as Brian Kelly from Tors' FLIPPER and Marshall Thompson from the producer's DAKTARI. Toss in Ilya from THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. and the golden girl from GOLDFINGER and there you go.

They began appearing in clubs in the UK and released their first single there at the end of the year. The following summer they would open for The Monkees on tour before stunning rock fans at The Monterey Pop Festival.
