Tremendously entertaining Documentary, and the one which got me interested in Sasquatch!!!,
December 25, 2007 This film, first released in 1975 in theaters, is really well-done and balanced. Peter Graves, formerly of the Mission Impossible TV series, is our host, and really gives it a cool feel. The film focuses mainly on Bigfoot, but devotes brief segments to the Yeti and the Loch Ness Monster, which do not detract from the subject matter at all. Some sightings are included and recreated in the documentary which have not been seen in any medium, printed or otherwise. The major pieces of evidence are analyzed, like photos, footprints, films (including the Patterson/Gimlin film), hair samples, fecal samples, the Minnesota Iceman and other forms of evidence for Bigfoot. Several luminaries in Bigfootery and cryptozoology are featured, including the late Dr. Grover Krantz, Peter Byrne, Robert W. Morgan, Tim Dinsdale, Robert Rines and others. The documentary also discusses the historical accounts of sightings in America and does a great job of documenting the classic Bigfoot stories, like the Albert Ostman story and the Fred Beck story. This documentary is highly recommended.
