Description by OLDIES.com:
The Boundless Seas is hosted by Albert R. Hibbs, Ph.D. (1924-2003), a noted scientist and mathematician who helped build the United States' first Earth orbiting satellite. Later, he would become known as "the voice of NASA" for his skill at explaining the complexities of space flight in layman's terms. During the 1960s, Hibbs had hosted the Peabody Award-winning children's educational program Exploring Saturday mornings on NBC, accompanied by puppets. He was also notorious in his younger years as a professional roulette player; his monumental winnings even got him a guest shot on Groucho Marx's You Bet Your Life in 1959. "Special commentary" is credited to Fred Sadoff. The British actor was most likely chosen because of his recent role in the oceanic blockbuster The Poseidon Adventure (1972).
BONUS: Fishing on the Coast of Japan (1964): Renowned documentarian Julien Bryan presents this poetic portrait of hard-working fishermen in a small Japanese village. Bryan is most acclaimed for his work documenting life in Poland, Nazi Germany, and the Soviet Union in the years leading up to World War II, most notably Siege (1940), about the Siege of Warsaw. It was nominated for an Academy Award in 1941.
