A Doberman is trying to drag the body of dead woman to shore on a beach overlooked by a vintage shore front house where a lot of the action will occur in this film with a classic performance by James Garner as a small town detective who investigates the case, saves the Doberman from euthanasia, and in the process gets involved with sexy veterinarian assistant Katharine Ross, who's left New York and a failed marriage, and her boss, town vet Hal Holbrooke, who's involved in a weird marriage with June Allyson. Edmond O'Brien also gets some strange lines as the owner of the town liquor store who's made a few deliveries to the beach house. The best parts of this movie are outdoors, or in the beach house, or at night driving to the beach house through a one lane tunnel with a traffic signal at both ends. The film seems to be trying to play catch-up with some bizarre stereotyped sexual revolution that probably never happened, and has some truly bizarre lines to go along with the ever twisting unraveling of the plot.
