A Masterpiece!

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Pretty cool story about some folks in the 'Triangle' who are either lost or trying to find out the whereabouts of others whom have already become lost.Fred MacMurray dons his little captain's hat which he bought at the local boat shop so he can pretend he's King of the Sea or something, Sam Groom is his aquatic entrepreneurial protégé, and Donna Mills is Sam's chick. Donna is beautiful, which is what held my attention for the duration. Sweet Dana Plato is a little girl whose parents have disappeared in this most famous 'hot-spot'.Somewhat mundane TV-movie (most TV-movies in the 70's sucked), but concomitantly interesting. It will help to be buzzed while you watch. I'm buzzed right now on Admiral Nelson's Spiced Rum and I've got this flick on TV as I type this-- .... wait a second! I think Donna is going to take off her top!.... Gotta go!

Although barely under an hour and a quarter Beyond The Bermuda Triangle seems an eternity sometimes with Fred MacMurray and his cast doing a whole lot of palabering about just why people get lost in the patch of ocean known as the Bermuda Triangle.ABC did not invest a whole lot into this film with location shooting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida standing in for Bimini in the Bahama Islands. One harbor is as good as another.Fred and a bunch of friends are in those southern waters for a bit of a holiday when some of those legendary disappearances occur. When it happens to young Dana Plato's parents Fred shows some concern. In fact the only thing that gives this nicely photographed film any excitement is when Dana claims to hear her mother calling. So where does she go? Not out to sea, but into the Everglades.Nice characters, nice photography, but a dull story.

The Bermuda Triangle(or Devil's Triangle) was a very hot topic in the 1970s, in films, television, and a number of best-selling books. It's a little surprising there weren't more TV films made on the subject, then, frankly.BTBT is a mid-level mystery/horror effort in which Fred MacMurray investigates the disappearances of aircraft, and boats/ships in the area off of Florida's eastern coast. Donna Mills is on hand to offer her stunning beauty, as is the ill-fated Dana Plato whose first credit this was, I believe. She gives a performance with a nice touch of pathos as the young girl who has recently lost her mother to the Triangle.Mills wasn't yet terribly well-known although she was popping up often on television by this point. Her performance is engaging, and it's always nice to see her, of course.The film meanders along somewhat, which modern viewers will probably find somewhat tedious, but there is a nice twist at the conclusion for those patient enough to wait for it. Used to be shown on local indi stations, and cable fairly-often, but seems to have disappeared it self, more or less. Wonder if it's available on disc? For those of us who recall the usually excellent made-for-TV suspense/horror/sci-fi films of the 1970s, I imagine most would like to own it for the sake of completeness.

Another contrived TV-movie of the week.Everybody's getting killed at the most famous hot-spot in the world, so dried-up sea captain Fred MacMurray tries to figure out what the hell is going on. Donna Mills tags along occasionally - not that anyone ever gives a crap what she does, and boat-freak Sam Groom is the village idiot who likes to talk about what a loser he's been all his life to anyone who's bored enough to listen. Sweet Dana Plato is cute as a recently orphaned little girl. Directed by William Graham for Hugh Hefner Productions, this film takes place at Bimini Island 50 miles off the southeastern seaboard.
