Savage Shadows is a 1969 Australian documentary film. It was based on the shark attack on diver Henri Bource in 1964.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
In 1969 the distributor, Andrew Gaty, announced he had rejected an American sale offer from NBC of $100,000 declaring the film would make $3 million.[8] He sold it for $260,000.[9]
The film ran 90 minutes but was cut down to 53 minutes for TV.[10]
Reception
[edit | edit source]Colin Bennett of The Age wrote "too long, patchily coloured, this 93-minute piece of anti tourism has a conventional, US-slanted commentary and underwater photography that cannot stand up to Cousteau's."[11]
The Sydney Sun Herald called it "compelling" with a "well made script".[12]
