A simple fisherman’s wife induces him to ask for more favours from a great fish he has caught and thrown back into the sea. When the wife demands to play God, the couple loses everything but is happy anyway.
Reviews
There is hardly a moment at which one is not aware of [Schuller’s] immense skill in producing orchestral effects that are striking in their sheer sensual appeal.
Harry Neville, Boston Herald Traveler, 09/05/1970
