Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
This oddity from the 1970s has an intriguing, shaggy feel to it. The first and last film directed by novelist Thomas McGuane, it's based on one of his novels, which was nominated for the National Book Award. Peter Fonda stars as a Florida Keys upstart, who wants to run his own fishing-charter business. But he comes up against a rival captain (played by Warren Oates), who feels that Fonda is horning in on territory that should be exclusively his. Oates is infuriated even more when Fonda keeps ignoring his death threats. The stellar cast includes Margot Kidder, Elizabeth Ashley, Burgess Meredith, and Harry Dean Stanton. Shambling and laidback, this film also happens to be extremely funny. --Marshall Fine

Cast selections were fitting...and this was one movie experience that left me with the same feeling as the prose, ... Read More
Rating: - Key Character Study
I caught this film on Cable last week. I usually don't remember whole scenes of dialog on one viewing, But this one really stays with you!
Quirky plot, strange characters, gorgeous location. Excellent acting. And fishing.
If you like these things, and you like low-key indie cinema, your probably going to like this movie a whole lot.
Rating: - its like being there.
92 in the shade was a great book and now mcguane has given us a great movie. the movie is funny, scary and a microscopic look at the last 'weird outpost.' a wonderful movie.
