Savage Shadows

Savage Shadows is a 1969 Australian documentary film. It was based on the shark attack on diver Henri Bource in 1964.
In 1969 the distributor, Andrew Gaty, announced he had rejected an American sale offer from NBC of $100,000 declaring the film would make $3 million. He sold it for $260,000.
The film ran 90 minutes but was cut down to 53 minutes for TV.

Reception

Colin Bennett of The Age wrote "too long, patchily coloured, this 93-minute piece of anti tourism has a conventional, US-slanted commentary and underwater photography that cannot stand up to Cousteau's."
The Sydney Sun Herald called it "compelling" with a "well made script".
