Description

1960s thriller starring Dennis Hopper as a sailor who falls for a woman who believes she is a mythical creature. During his shore leave, Johnny (Hopper) meets Mora (Linda Lawson) when she is performing as a mermaid at a local carnival. Johnny is warned by others of Mora's former lovers who died under mysterious circumstances.
