"A very enjoyable Bigfoot documentary
The meteoric success of "The Legend of Boggy Creek" not only led to two sequels, but also beget a flood of like-minded documentaries all striving to both provide photographic evidence of the ever-evasive creature's existence and bilk bucks from the wallets of innumerable drive-in theater patrons. "The Legend of Bigfoot" is such a cash-in, right down to its title which suspiciously echoes "Boggy Creek" 's moniker. Actually, this appealingly earnest and engrossing effort manages to be highly enjoyable thanks mostly to the delightfully rough, tough and oh-so-gruff rugged outdoorsman presence of Ivan Marx. Marx, a hunter, trapper, tracker and all-around man's man in excelsis, embarks on a vigorous, determined, unflagging cross country pilgrimage to track down and confirm the veracity of that much beloved sylvan beastman of longstanding myth. Marx travels all over America from the Oregon coast to the Colorado Rocky Mountains to Sasquatch's mating grounds in the Artic Circle.
It's Marx's clearly honest and unfeigned commitment to finding Bigfoot which gives this feature a significant lift out of the rut. It's especially a pleasure to hear Marx's crusty say-it-like-you-see it musings on mankind's intrusion on nature, his disdain towards shyster businessmen's crass commercial exploiting of Bigfoot, occasional self-deprecating remarks ("Here I am a grown man runnin' around the woods chasin' after some fairytale"), cynicism concerning the so-called experts' offensive arrogance, and brilliant deductive observations about Bigfoot's migratory nature based on the behavior of other animals. Moreover, Marx's delving into Native American folklore concerning Mr. Over-sized Pawprints is interesting and informative (other Indian names for ol' big'n'hairy include the Oh-Man, Bushman and Stickman). The excellent cinematography captures the breathtaking beauty of the North American wilderness with stunning clarity and precision. Harry Stuart Winer's brisk direction, a script which supplies a winningly sincere blend of skepticism and speculation, and Don Peake's liltingly melodic country score round off the goodies to be relished in this infectiously full-blooded cinematic ode to a faded, rapidly disappearing, adventurous all-American frontier spirit."-Written by Woodyanders
