Sam Elliot was in the "Empty Copper Sea" which was mediocre. I never saw the one with Rod Taylor.

[Long Cut]

Ironically, Rod Taylor is pretty much what I'd expect McGee to look like. I wish I could've seen that one...is it out on DVD by any chance, and what's the title?

I often have a fantasy of running my own movie company. One of my first projects would be to immediately begin making the "Travis McGee" series into movies.

Well, that and getting Jimmy Buffett to finally write a screenplay for "Where Is Joe Merchant?"

Oh, and during the 1960's, two movies were made with the character "Tony Rome", which was just a ripoff of McGee with Frank Sinatra playing him. Same boat, located in Fort Lauderdale, same Private Eye stuff.
