Interesting facts

Sweet Savior is a 1971 film directed by Robert L. Roberts, written by Willie Gilbert, and starring Troy Donahue as a Charles Manson-type cult leader.

Production

Lloyd Kaufman was the production manager.

Troy Donahue said while promoting the film:

I play Moon, a religious creep who murders a lot of people, a real heavy trip. But I don't want anyone to think I'm playing it in some phony exploitation flick that takes advantage of the Manson case to make a fast buck. I don't like many things, man, but I dig this picture... We're trying to show both sides of the problem. The Hollywood glamor society is as guilty as the depraved hippy cults.

I had the idea not to make the Mason story per se but to inform people the Sharon Tate thing was not just an isolated incident. Many other cults are murdering people. They're just not as publicised. There are a lot of so-called families like Mason's with one dictatorial leader who controls his group through drugs, pills, sex, LSD and many other ways. These people are a threat to the fabric of society because they commit murder without conscience.

"This is going to be a very big picture," said Donahue. "I have a feeling it's going to be bigger than Love Story."
