Description by OLDIES.com:
Below the Surface is a pulpy silent melodrama with some outstanding underwater camerawork from director Irvin Willat, who specialized in films with a nautical theme like Behind the Door (1919), On the High Seas (1922), and The Isle of Lost Ships (1929). Produced by pioneering media proprietor Thomas H. Ince, it stars craggy Hobart Bosworth, an ubiquitous presence during the silent era. He played everything from Jack London's Wolf Larsen in The Sea Wolf (1913) to the crusty old lighthouse keeper that took in Baby Peggy in Captain January (1924). Young Lloyd Hughes would eventually wind up in a few prestigious silents like The Sea Hawk (1924) and The Lost World (1925), but by the talkie era he was a fixture in numerous Poverty Row "B" pictures such as The Drums of Jeopardy (1931) Midnight Phantom (1935) and A Face in the Fog (1936), to name just a few. Gladys George, who plays an innocent, virginal young woman vying for Hughes' affections, ironically is best known for later playing the oversexed widow of murdered detective Miles Archer in the classic The Maltese Falcon (1941).
