I first saw this made for TV movie in May, 1978. The other reviews did a fine job of plot detail.
First off I have not seen this movie since it was aired in rerun probably in the late 80's on TBS superstation or one of those cable stations that still showed the old TV movies of the week. It seems that all these simple movies of the week now are gone and if one comes around it's pretty rare.
Michael Parks, the character actor that Quentin Tarnatino's used in FROM DUSK TILL DAWN and KILL BILL, stars in this 1977 made for television movie created by JAWS author PETER BENCHLEY, what was supposed to be a pilot for a series centering on various sea adventures. While that show never got off the ground, this is a nice little film on its own.
