Darker Than Amber
(1970 - 2 Full Screen DVD-R's - Color - 96 min) 

Released August 1970, Public Domain August 1998

Note: One disc contains the very rare un-released version with the full uncut fight sequence running time 99 minutes 33 seconds. The second disc is an edited TV version more widely shown with Dutch subtitles running time 82 minutes 44 seconds. Some general release versions had a 96 minute running time where the full fight sequence was edited. A bit of warning. The original fight sequence is not for the faint of heart. It is very brutal where Rod Taylor's nose was actually broken and William Smith suffered as well with three broken ribs. What started out as a planned staged fight scene devolved into a real one! For the era it was considered one of the most ferocious fight scenes ever done and frankly it's still pretty hard to watch.

Fast paced whodunit is a classic of the genre. Rod Taylor is the daring Travis McGee in this action packed screen  adaptation of John D. MacDonald’s thriller Darker Than Amber. Sexy Suzy Kendall as Vangie gets dropped in the ocean with lead boots on and Taylor saves her. Exotic adventure of murder and mayhem from Miami to the Caribbean. Taylor exposes Vangie’s assailants as well as the mystery surrounding her. Brutal, violent battles between Taylor and the bad guys are prevalent. Theodore Bikel is very good as Travis McGee’s partner and Jane Russell plays the eccentric Alabama Tigress in a rare screen appearance.
