While watching this I couldn't help but think about how the early 60s might be one of the worst times for cinema. I mean they're not as bad as today, or anything post the year 2000 with all the CGI nonsense, but given that they were preceded by the kitschiness of the 50s and then followed by the grittiness of the late 60s and 70s they were pretty awful in comparison for the most part and here's a prime example of that. Some fishermen find an abandoned boat and then get involved with some gangsters and that's pretty much the whole plot! Not exactly the most action packed film I've ever seen and what pisses me off the most about this is that they snuck it into a DVD set of biker movies which this is clearly not. Supposedly shot in 5 days which I can certainly believe. Roger Corman coulda done better!
Not a bad trailer for such a leisurely-paced movie:
