Just prior to her
Three's Company
superstardom, Suzanne Somers played the lead in the made-for-TV meller
It Happened at Lakewood Manor
. Boiled down to basics, this is a rehash of
Jaws
, with ants (!) substituting for sharks (the film's video release title, in fact, was
Ants
). A summer resort full of special-guest-star tourists is besieged by battalions of killer ants. Robert Foxworth, Myrna Loy, Lynda Day George, Bernie Casey, Barry Van Dyke and Brian Dennehy are among those on the little critters' menu. First telecast December 2, 1977,
was subsequently retitled
Panic at Lakewood Manor
.
