The Sea Around Us (1953)

This Academy Award-winning 1952 documentary takes the viewer into the majestic world of the sea, providing beautiful footage of a wide array of sea life from above and below the surface in their natural habitats. Narrated by Don Forbes, its images range from the beautiful -- tropical fish in the Great Barrier Reef -- to the dramatic -- a battle between an octopus and a shark. There is also an interesting look at wildlife-related jobs, such as crab farmer and shark walker.
