Surprisingly tough for a made for TV movie.

When I watched "The Smugglers", I was a bit surprised. After all, it was a TV movie from the late 60s...yet it was incredibly violent...more like a film made for the theaters. Several rather brutal murders occur during the course of the film...more brutal than I'd have expected for TV at the time.

The story is about an extremely dumb woman (Shirley Booth) and her daughter (Carol Lynley) as they travel through France and Italy...and unwittingly help smugglers ply their craft. Dumb because the woman NEVER questions nor checks to see what, exactly, she's carrying. This makes her so dumb, that it has a negative impact on an otherwise interesting movie. Not a great picture by any stretch but worth seeing.
