The made-for-TV Savage is worth seeing today as an example of early Steven Spielberg. Martin Landau stars as Paul Savage, a TV investigative reporter. In possession of a photograph that might destroy the career of a Supreme Court nominee, Savage finds himself the target of scrutiny from all sorts of shady types. Barbara Bain, then Mrs. Landau, costars as Savage's producer. Originally titled Watch Dog, Savage was the pilot for a potential TV series. Despite high network enthusiasm, the project never went any farther than its March 31, 1973 telecast.

Filipino action specialist Cirio H. Santiago directed this low-budget adventure starring former baseball star James Iglehart (Beyond the Valley of the Dolls), who is kidnapped by South American rebels. After a time, he sees their position and is joined by a female commando squad in battling the repressive government officials. Genre regulars Carol Speed, Ken Metcalfe, and Vic Diaz co-star in one of numerous, interchangeable Philippine actioners from Santiago and Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Iglehart returned in Cesare Gallardo's cult favorite Bamboo Gods and Iron Men (which Santiago produced) the following year. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
