'Filmed in sun-kissed settings, Australia's first romantic comedy drama is different–delightfully different screen entertainment. "White Death" is a giant, man-eating white shark which has struck terror into the hearts of the natives and has been responsible for many deaths, including those of the wife and son of a missionary stationed at Hayman Island. Zane Grey, who appears as "himself" in the film, is commissioned to catch this scavenger of the deep, and after catching several other sharks and a swordfish, the great author-fisherman finally hooks the "White Death."'
