The Woman Hunter

After opening with the murder of a woman, we are introduced to the prime suspect, Paul Carter (Stuart Whitman).

Enter beautiful, zillionaire socialite Dina Hunter (Barbara Eden) who has just returned home after a terrible auto accident. Dina's husband (Robert Vaughn) is an overly-driven, inattentive jerk. Not-too surprisingly, this sends bored and neglected Dina into the arms of another man.

Uh oh!

Dina's gotten herself mixed up with none other that Carter, who has been following her all along! This all leads to suspense and thrills during the big twist finale.

THE WOMAN HUNTER is a wonderful made-for-TV thriller. It's Ms. Eden's movie and she makes the best of it. While she is indeed stunningly gorgeous, she's also a great actor. Her dance scene is a show stopper!

Highly recommended for the Barbara Eden fanatic...

This was like a dull television show. I would hope that when a director looks at a script, he or she would make an effort to produce something that teaches or delights or does something to make the effort worthwhile. There is really nothing here. Barbara Eden is honeymooning with Robert Vaughn. He seems only interested in business. She has recently lost her first husband in a terrible accident. There have been some recent jewel thefts and a woman has been murdered. Barbara becomes attracted to a handsome young artist, and he becomes the murder suspect. There are efforts made to gaslight Barbara, but she knows what she knows. The movie grinds along to a contrived conclusion. We do get to see Barbara in all kinds of outfits. It's really not worth an hour and a half of your time.

I found this video on the $3.00 bargain bin at Wal-Mart. Typical 1970s made for TV shlock. Barbara stars as a rich heiress(how come in the movies they all look like Barbara Eden and not like Barbara Hutton?)vacationing in the Bahamas with husband Robert Vaughn. It seems that Stuart Whitman is following her and recording her every move in his little 1972 tape recorder.(His middle-aged body is displayed in various forms of undress for those of you into pot bellies and flab.)Barbara finds Stu's tape recorder and goes to the police, but everyone thinks she's batty because all rich women think everyone wants to kill them. Very lame story, dreadful acting and predictable plot. The only reason to watch this film is to finally get to see Barbara's navel. Other than that stick to the reruns of "I Dream of Jeannie".

I found this movie in a dollar bin which was actually on sale 10 for a buck and figured 'what the hell'. I usually don't like to buy those because the movies are mostly crap and the picture and sound quality is also mostly crap. But I was always a Jeannie fan so. . . While the plot is a little slow and a bit (much less than I thought it would be) dated, Barbara Eden doesn't fail to make it somewhat interesting. 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. Then there's the storyline of rich women being bumped off in various parts of the world. Stuart Whitman plays a mysterious character and Robert Vaughn plays her cold, distant, workaholic husband. 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've been watching quite a few 70's movies and TV shows lately and have noticed how actors in those days and prior didn't seem to try to be so physically perfect the way they do now. They had pot bellies, balding heads, crooked stained teeth and (omg!) wrinkles--wrinkles when they were actually old and **should** have winkles! No botox, no "Hair Club For Men", no teeth bleaching. People were **real**. That reviewer was offended by SW's belly. I found it comforting.

Not a bad little 70's made-for-TV flick. A bit better than the usual dollar bin crap. Oh, and in the middle of the movie, Barbara Eden suddenly breaks into this cool and sexy dance for absolutely no reason. . .hence my review heading.

Barbara Eden stars as a woman named "Dina Hunter" who has just inherited a fortune due to the death of her father. Because she was accidentally involved in the death, her husband "Jerry Hunter" (Robert Vaughn) accompanies her to Acapulco so that she can recover both mentally and emotionally. While there she meets a man named "Paul Carter" (Stuart Whitman) who she believes is a murderous jewel thief intent on killing her and taking her jewelry. Now, considering the presence of accomplished actors like Robert Vaughn and Stuart Whitman one would think that their mere presence would be able to lift this film up from mediocrity. Sadly, that is not the case as this "made for television" movie fails to capitalize on their abilities. Fortunately, Barbara Eden manages to keep the film from completely crashing due to her beauty and charm. Even so, the lack of action and suspense is definitely noticeable and the final product suffers accordingly. Somewhat disappointing.
