Pesadelo ao Sol

Writer/director/producer Marc Lawrence does a very solid job when it comes to "NIghtmare in the Sun". Lawrence delivers a nice, tight thriller. He also gets nice performances from a strong cast. The only weak link is John Derek. Derek is a pretty face but he's out of his league with this bunch. The copy I watched was not very good. It looked like the kind of copy Good Times video used to release back in the '80s. I won't fault "Nightmare in the Sun" for that. I will fault it, however, for its music. The music in this movie stinks. It's probably the movie's biggest demerit. Otherwise, this is a movie that is worth seeing. Honorable mention: a dreamy Ursula Andress.
