content

A resident of a beach village falls in love with a stranger who has to grapple with a hot-blooded and irascible local for her love. Meanwhile, another villager's forbidden dynamite fishing brings bad luck to the people living there. The love of the two cannot prevent the tragedy: a man is shredded by dynamite.

criticism

"Despite the melodramatic parts, La mina likes the fluidly staged action."

- Hal Erickson : All-Movie Guide

"Superficial entertainment in an artistically insignificant film."

- Lexicon of international film

"Among the thousand mistakes in the film is that of offering pseudosocial prudishness in an awkward, well-mannered staging."

- L. del Fra : Bianco e nero. May 1958
