Sophia Loren in vintage scuba gear… again! – Scene 3

Now the third and final scuba scene of this movie!

As a nice guy mentioned, the woman in the underwater scenes is “Scilla Gabel” who was here as the stunt/dive double for Sophia Loren.

As this scene is somehow similar in most aspects to the other two scenes with her….I just repeat what I said last time 😉

If you are a regular visitor to this blog you should know what my biggest issue here is….

Yeah, not a big fan of the aspect that she is diving in her normal street clothes, pretty much the unsexiest cloth someone might wear for diving.

On the other hand, it’s a young Sophia Loren and she looks gorgeous in anything.

In my version, she would have worn a vintage scuba suit from that era.

I also really love that she is using a double hose regulator, looks great!

Of course, I would have loved an action/peril scene here, perhaps the combination of some sharp rocks with her vulnerable intake air hose 😉

However two good scuba scenes with Sophia Loren in interesting gear.

There is one more scuba scene from this movie which will be posted as well in the next weeks.

 

P.S.:

Here is the first post about this movie with the first two scenes:

Sophia Loren in vintage scuba gear… again! – Scenes 1 and 2

I know about this one for a long time and was rather surprised I haven’t posted about it.

Maybe I made a post about it ages ago and the video I had then was blocked or so… not sure.

Time that the scuba scenes of this movie get on this blog as well!

We have the gorgeous Italian actress Sophia Loren in it and she was only around 23 back then as the movie was filmed.

An Italian vintage frogwoman with an early rebreather

I know this scene for a long time already.

But I only had a pretty bad copy (worse than DVD) that was black and white.

Now this movie was restored to MUCH better quality as it now has Blu-ray quality… and also got colorized!

Quite a gigantic quality upgrade. 🙂

So, I wanna present the most interesting scene from this movie today.

And here is the video:

Ok, I don’t speak Italian but have seen subtitles for this scene….so let me give you some backstory to this scene.

She asks the guy if she could try on the FFM (does someone know the type/model?).

As he leaves he asks to take it off again…he is in a hurry as he says.

Well, as you can see she ignores that and goes diving.

He later mention to another guy that the system he gave to her was nearly empty as he was diving with it prior to giving it to her.

In the end, her father is really angry about her being that reckless while only one of the guys takes her side and defends her.

I guess this may be one of the earliest female scuba peril scenes in existence as this movie was made in 1953!

The scenario is rather cliche and classic as she is very reckless and also gets trapped in that net.

Sadly it is not shown how she gets entangled in the net in the first place.

But I really love the scuba gear! A FFM with a single corrugated air hose… very sexy! Would love to see a scuba fight with a frogwoman equipped like that 🙂

Also interesting that there is a valve on that mask to switch from snorkel to rebreather (as the guy explains to her).

Really happy that this scene can now be watched in such a picture quality 🙂

And that frogwoman is no other than Sophia Loren!

Quite a sight… 🙂
