I remember seeing this movie when it premiered as the movie of the week back in 1979. Charlene Tilton of "Dallas" fame plays a teen that has a job down at the beach. She is saving for a car, but in order to get to the job she must hitchhike. This movie wasn't very violent, but it had some strong images. The image that sticks out the most is the bikini/haltar top clad girls getting into the murderers car laughing, and oblivious to the news reports, then the next scene is the girls clothing being slowly driven over after the murderer has killed his victims. A pretty strong message, without being graphic. There are a lot of recognizable faces in this classic too, like Dick Van Patten from "Eight is Enough", and Christopher Knight from "Brady Bunch" fame. Dominique Dunne also stars in this unforgettable made-for-tv classic! If you like movies from the '70s, especially made-for-tv movies, then this one is a great choice!

I purchased this at the request of a resident of the NH I'm employed at. He knew exactly where I would find it and what it would cost. Each day he came to my office to check on it's arrival. When I saw him today, having given it to him a few weeks back, he was ecstatic! It brought him back in time, to a better place in his life. It was awesome!
