synopsis
Black Water Gold stars Aron Kincaid as a self-styled "scuba bum" living in Nassau. Kincaid teams up with marine archaeologist Keir Dullea and historian Ricardo Montalban in seeking out a gold-laden sunken Spanish galleon. With so many veteran movie villains involved, there has to be some dirty work afoot; in this instance, the fly in the ointment is wealthy (and deadly) treasure hunter Bradford Dillman. France Nuyen and Lana Wood supply the feminine angle in this made-for-TV effort, which premiered as an ABC Movie of the Week on January 6, 1970.
