Shark! (1969)

'Shark!' is a Mexican-American co-production helmed by budget film maestro Samuel Fuller and staring Arthur Kennedy, former Mexican starlet Silvia Pinal and a young Burt Reynolds. Based on the 1955 novel His Bones Are Coral by Victor Canning, the title was changed to 'Shark!' by the producers rather disgustingly to capitalize off the death of a stuntmen by shark during filming. Reynolds is an American gun runner who teams with  university professor Barry Sullivan and his girlfriend (Pinal) in a scheme to retrieve gold from a ship sunken in the Red Sea (this movie was filmed mostly in Mexico but set in the Sudan). Arthur Kennedy plays a drunken ex-pat doctor, and child actor Carlos Barry gets an "introducing' credit, Carlos Barry appeared in 0 additional movies. A cynical story boringly told, most notable for the presence of  Reynolds in front and Fuller behind the camera, the latter had much grander visions for this movie from what ended up on screen. A slog.  *1/2
