Reception
Although the director Emilio Vieyra was often criticized and his films dismissed by critics, 'The Great Adventure' was a commercial success and considered a "blockbuster". Fernando Gabriel Varea in his 2006 book 'El cine argentino durante la dictadura militar, 1976/1983' described the film as a "super super adventure", "sort of cross between James Bond and the 'Three Stooges".
'The Great Adventure' was also the first of several of Vieyra's films which featured fish and dolphins.
