Leave your thoughts about Darker Than Amber.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe whole movie is a lot more believable than a detective movie usually has a right to be. I didn't much expect to enjoy it - the genre has been in a state of decay since the 1950s - but I did. |
| Cleveland PressTony MastroianniDarker Than Amber had some of the ingredients of a pretty fair movie going in. A bad job of mixing and a few ingredients that don't mix well have resulted instead in a rather lackluster jumble. |
| User ReviewChristopher LA classic hardboiled thriller based on John D. MacDonald's outstanding series crime fiction novels about houseboat dwelling troubleshooter Travis McGee. This film got short shrift from critics, poor marketing from the studio and faded into undeserved obscurity. Renowned mainly for one of the most best fight scenes in screen history (Rod Taylor and William Smith actually came to blows while filming the climactic fight), this film also has gorgeous on location scenery in southeastern Florida and a groovy jazz soundtrack by John Parker. How this film has not been given a decent release on DVD and Blu-Ray is beyond me, especially when you consider some of the truly awful films that have been treated much better than this one. This is a film that definitely deserves to be ranked up there with other great crime dramas of the 1970's like Get Carter, Dirty Harry, Across 110th St, Charley Varrick and others. There is a poor quality video of this film on You Tube and some equally poor quality bootleg DVD's out there, but we need to get this film re-mastered on DVD. |
| User ReviewTed WI'm sure this review is colored by my love for the McGee novels, but this fits the bill for a movie version of the man very well. Great, violent fighting, and a great sense of humor make for a close film approximation of the novels. Too bad there weren't more made. |
| User ReviewBrandon SChandler-esque. Very solid. Rod Taylor kicks ass! |
