Actresses: MARY-LOUISE WELLER & LYDIA CORNELL
Known for: ANIMAL HOUSE & TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
Project: BLOODTIDE
Year: 1982
Genre: Suspense/Thriller
Character: Sherry Grice (& Barbara)
Traits: Sexy Sherry joins her husband Neil (Martin Cove) to find his sister (Deborah Shelton) on a Greek Island inhabited by locals with a secret, aided by a black maverick archeologist Frye (James Earl Jones) who discovers a sea creature that could be responsible for killing young hotties… including Frye’s squeeze Barbara played by TV’s blonde bombshell Lydia Cornell.
Nag Ratings: 3… Sherry’s a good woman who sticks by her man, but she doesn’t take any crap either. And Barbara gets a 4 because her last words are rather rash, telling Greek locals they prefer boys to women (referring to the Greek philosophers, so she’s no dummy)… After which she takes a final swim.
The Best Part: Hot humid beach weather making Mary, along with Lydia Cornell and Deborah Shelton, dress accordingly.
You Missed: Originally a treasure picture liken to THE DEEP, the sea monster elements, ala JAWS and all its clones, were added later.
