The Deep by Peter Benchley5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Nick Noltt, a blue-eyed blond fellow who appears to have been cloned (clufsily) from Robert Redford's press clippings, plays Frank Hardy.While scuba diving off Bermuda, Jackie and Nick come upon the remains of a sunken vessel that turns out actually to be two. The opening yesterday of "The Deep" at Loew's State 2 and other theaters, as well as of "Exorcist II: The Heretic" (see separate review), mark the arrival of the silly season that more or less coincides with hot weather, out-of-control air-conditioning and asphalt pavements as luxuriously soft as deep-pile carpets."The Deep," which is even sillier than the Peter Benchley novel, recalls-though not to its own advantage-the sort of adventures Frank and Joe Hardy used to have on their summer vacations.Jacqueline Bisset, one of Cinema's natural splendors whether she's wearing a white evening dress composed by a poet or a soaping-wet T-shirt, plays the Joe Hardy role. ![]()
