DARKER THAN AMBER 1970 (MEDUSA FILMS)

This is a long OOP movie that really needs a Blu-ray revival.

Rod Taylor stars as Travis McGee in this movie based on the novel from John D. McDonald.

One night while out on a boat with a friend named Meyer (Theodore Bikel), McGee sees a young woman thrown into the lake. He saves her from her horrible fate, only to be drawn into a web of brutal murder.

The woman named Vangie (Suzy Kendall) tells Travis about her problems with a vicious killer named Terry (William Smith). McGee tries to protect her, but she is brytally killed by Terry.

Another good friend of McGee's is also brutally beaten and killed by Terry and this makes McGee determined to catch this killer.

Thereb are a lot of brutal scenes in this film and the final confrontation between McGee and Terry is one of the wildest things I have ever seen in a movie.

I enjoyed this movie a lot and think you will to, if you can find it. The rest of the cast includes Ahna Capri, Jane Russell, Robert Phillips, Janet MacLachlan and James Booth.

I believe this is also currently on TUBI for streaming.
