The Tender Warrior (1971)
Stars Charles Lee and Dan Haggerty
Great film from 1971. Charles Lee was excellent!
He has such a wonderful southern accent. He was
a natural at acting. Too bad this is his only film.
Dan Haggerty was great as the bumbling hillbilly.
Lots of fun and lots of nature photography.
Loved the haunting opening theme song written
and sung by Jimmy Walker.
You'll also get to see Dan Haggerty wrestle an
alligator and a leopard.
Filmed in Techniscope (2.35 : 1). Unfortunately
this copy was cropped for television (1.33 : 1).
Plot Summary:Sammy (played by Charles Lee) lives by the swamp
and makes friends with all the wildlife. Cal Lucas and
his family are illegally trapping animals and running
a whiskey still. Sammy, along with his pet chimp 'Chuck',
a whiskey drinking bear, and a spotted leopard get into
all kinds of mischief trying to thwart Cal and the others.
Screen caps from half-inch analog tape. Since this was
the only movie for Charles Lee, I pulled a lot of images.
