Pequeña historia de náufragos donde una mujer es llevada por sus más ardorosos sentimientos, comprobando los límites del egoísmo del hombre.
Short story about castaways in which a woman is carried away by her most burning feelings, proving the limits of man's selfishness.
"In Tumbling Waters Leo J. Heffernan has turned his experienced and competent camera on that perennial favorite of travel filmers, Niagara Falls. The result is a sparkling piece of lighthearted showmanship, climaxed by a truly gripping and probably unique sequence filmed amid the swirling mists of the Cave of the Winds. The overall effect of Tumbling Waters, however, was marred for these reviewers by recurring levities of treatment deemed out of key with the essential majesty of the subject." Movie Makers, Dec. 1949, 471-472.
Scientific documentary
Symbiosis and protective systems of decapods
È un film scientifico che nella cornice di visioni di suggestiva bellezza, dei fondi marini, tratta dei sistemi di protezione e delle simbiosi di alcuni decapodi. È il primo film scientifico a passo ridotto che sia stato finora realizzato su questo argomento.
Questo film è stato realizzato nella Stazione Zoologica di Napoli, in tre mesi di assiduo lavoro e con ore ed ore di paziente attesa, subordinata alla capricciosa volontà di questi interessantissimi attori.
This is a scientific film that, within the frame of visions of suggestive beauty, of the depths of the sea, deals with the systems of protection and with the symbiosis of some decapods. It is the first scientific small-gauge film that has been made on this subject until now.
This film was made in the Zoological Station of Naples, in three months of assiduous work and with hours and hours of patient waiting, subordinated to the capricious will of these interesting actors.
