While Robert Foxworth is allegedly in some Hawaiian paradise, it looks like the set of the popular Ricardo Montalban TV series, minus Tattoo. He's visiting the scene of where an ancestors lived, a missionary whose actions caused the death of many natives who didn't follow his teachings. A curse has been put on Foxworth because of that, turning him into a werewolf and sending the island into terror.
While this is enjoyable, I questioned why the curse since it would also put natives into jeopardy. A cast of familiar 70's TV faces also includes Debra Lee Scott, Dolph Sweet (once again a police officer as he was on "Another World" and "Gimme a Break") and Joe Penney. Foxworth gets the sophisticated Barbara Trentham as his leading lady, and I was surprised she didn't have more credits. This has many very intense, spooky moments, is well acted, and slightly tragic. Well worth seeing for a nearly forgotten TV movie.
