Other shark bitten survivors were interviewed in Savage Shadows.





A RON TAYLOR SHARK FILM (Dramatized documentary).
Filmed in The Coral Sea (1964)  Unnecessary shark scenes at the end ran 2 mins 40+ seconds or the length of a 100 foot roll of 16 mm film.  Hardly one second wasted by expert cameraman and film editor Ron Taylor. YouTube version "Saumarez Reef" (below)




PRESENTED BY RON TAYLOR - IN PERSON.


 

 

How the world first saw White Pointer sharks underwater.  Hollywood chose the more dramatic title Great White which was more suitable than White Death as used by paperback author Zane Grey when he fished for sharks and marlin in Australia during several trips in the 1930s.
