FER-DE-LANCE is a made-for-TV movie starring David Janssen as the Officer in charge of a nuclear submarine. A routine mission turns catastrophic when a knuckleheaded crewmember (Frank Bonner) brings the titular serpents aboard. Death and disaster strike, leaving the sub stranded on the ocean floor.
For a network television production of this vintage, It's not bad at all. It's a horror-thriller, as well as a disaster / survival film. The snakes are well-utilized, and Mr. Janssen is the same rough-around-the-edges, unflappable character he always seems to play.
Co-stars the wonderful Hope Lange...
