Review of The Woman Hunter

TV-movie has distraught millionairess Barbara Eden, just released from 'the hospital,' vacationing in Acapulco with her business-minded husband, where she's befriended by a beach bum/artist who may be a thief and a murderer. It's easy to see why popular television actress Eden picked this project: she gets to wear emeralds, exotic clothes and even do a little shake and wiggle on the dance-floor (the only moment in the movie where she displays her feisty personality). The woman-in-distress plot is perfunctory, while the men in the cast are hardly interesting enough to hold the viewer's attention much less Barbara's. The location is adequately captured, and the running time is blessedly brief, but does the plot-twist at the finish line really make sense?
