Merriday family values

Troy Donahue's peak years were the late Eisenhower/Kennedy years when he was the All American boy. By 1965 he was looking to branch out in an effort to sustain his stardom. Hence this horror/thriller My Blood Runs Cold.

In this Donahue plays a mysterious young man who runs into Joey Heatherton's car and insists she's a girl from the past named Barbara and he was her lover.

Some credence is given to this by Aunt Jeanette Nolan who says that back in the day great great grandma disgraced the family name with a sailor who had Troy Donahue's character name of Ben Gunther.

Heatherton is intrigued by Donahue and is ready to throw over nice lawyer Nicholas Coster for Donahue. Heatherton's father Bazrry Sullivan ain't liking any of this as the Coster/Heatherton nuptials are part of his business dealings.

My Blood Runs Cold had promise but it settles for a mediocre ending. Had the ending reached into the fantasy realm this could have been a big hit.

I think if you see it, you'll know what I mean,.
