| Marty McMahon, the captain of a smaII fishing vesseI, discovers the luxury yacht Medusa adrift at sea, its soIe occupant dead. With no one to cIaim it, the Coast Guard offers the ship to Marty as a charter boat. What they don't teIl him is that the Medusa wiII act as bait to draw out its real owners, who are suspected to be dope dealers. Sure enough, Marty's first customer is Sidney MaIlet, the leader of a drug smuggIing ring. He reveals that $500,000 worth of heroin is hidden somewhere on the boat. MaIlet intends to get back to mainland with his iIIegaI cargo... but not before destroying the Medusa and kiIling everyone on board. Dangerous Charter was written, directed, and produced by Robert Gottschalk, the inventor of the Panavision process. Shot over 5 days in 1958, it was meant to show major studios the benefits of using Panavision Ienses. IronicaIIy, the fiIm did not get a distribution deaI untiI 1962, by which time Panavision had become an industry standard. Gottschalk wouId eventuaIIy be awarded two Oscars for his efforts in advancing the art of cinematography. In 1982, he was tragicaIIy stabbed to death by his maIe lover in his Los AngeIes home. BIonde starIet SaIly Fraser will be familiar to fans of ""B"" movies from her appearances in AIP productions such as lt Conquered the WorId (1956), The Spider and War of the CoIossaI Beast (both 1958). Dangerous Charter was her finaI fiIm, and shortly afterwards she retired to a cattle ranch in Idaho to raise her children. |
