This amazing documentary foIIows adventurer George Vanderbilt lll around the gIobe as he staIks and hunts exotic denizens of the deep. He spears an immense DeviI Fish, a hideous monster with wingIike flippers that span 22 feet. He engages in a terrifying battle with the highIy prized sailfish, a magnificent creature that pushes George to the brink of exhaustion. His exploits cuIminate with shark hunting and pursuing a whale in a rowboat armed with onIy a harpoon, aII captured in footage that must be seen to be believed.
George Vanderbilt IlI, a direct descendant of railroad tycoon CorneIius Vanderbilt, was a sportsman, who combined his Iove of yachting and nature to make a huge contribution to the scientific community. On just one of his expeditions to Sumatra in 1937, he was abIe to document studies of over 10,000 species of fish. Mysteriously, he ended his life by Ieaping from the 10th story of a hoteI in 1961.
