Directed by Bernie Kowalski, who had directed SO much television during the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s. Remember those? . Neither one is a masterpiece, but they have mixed rewards. The ending is a surprise ending and I'm probably the only viewer who didn't see it coming.
Someone on here made a disparaging comment about Stuart Whitman's pot belly and it made me think.
I bought this movie because of Barbara Eden and I was somewhat disappointed. Then there's the storyline of rich women being bumped off in various parts of the world.
It's Ms. Eden's movie and she makes the best of it. Dina Hunter and her husband are going on vacation to Mexico. Well, the man's career was shrinking in prominence.
It's a TV movie of the 'cozy mystery' variety that now seems to run all the time on the Lifetime cable channel. I usually don't like to buy those because the movies are mostly crap and the picture and sound quality is also mostly crap.
Sydney Chaplin, the younger son of THAT Charlie Chaplin. She plays Dina Hunter, a rich woman with husband Robert Vaughn on vacation in Central Ameraca after getting in a car accident in which she may have caused something awful. He is a painter, so after meeting Eden (whose character is named Dina Hunter; the Hunter woman, get it) on the beach, and catching her in a bikini, he offers to paint her portrait.
She has recently lost her first husband in a terrible accident. The location is adequately captured, and the running time is blessedly brief, but does the plot-twist at the finish line really make sense?

Barbara Eden is a luminous pleasure in The Woman Hunter
Just watched this Barbara Eden made-for-TV movie on YouTube.
Director Bernie Kowalski does a decent job with his highly professional cast and standard camerawork.It's nice to see Vaughan play a decent guy, and Miss Eden in a bikini. It's about a wealthy woman who is trying to recover from a dark incident in her past which has resulted in a precarious emotional state. In one beach scene with co-star Whitman,she dons a revealing bikini and never looked better.Guys will love this film and I'm sure Girls will love Barbara's outfits.It's a nice way to spend an hour or so.
However, for most viewers this isn't really enough reason to recommend "The Woman Hunter"--an at best ordinary made for TV film from the 1970s. What follows is mildly interesting at times, but too often it just seems very rushed and sloppy.
