I honestly don't know the genre because nothing happened the first quarter hour but ironically I'll have to go with "Action"

Nothing happens in the first quarter hour, except for drippy "clever" dialogue and overuse of the word "Congressman," but at least there's Peter Lorre training a shark, and Barbara Eden dancing to Frankie Avalon's trumpet.  Irwin Allen directed and co-wrote.

Bumped up a notch for the intriguing cast, although I didn't feel they were given anything funny to work with.  This is based on the Nathaniel Benchley novel, and directed by Irving Brecher.
