adonis98-743-186503 A super-hero uses her powers to thwart an international spy ring. Cathy Lee Crosby might be one beautiful looking woman but she's no Lynda Carter or better yet Gal Gadot. The film has taken the source material in a very bad and different way to the point where we see a blonde woman wearing a jumpsuit with stars in it basically? she looks nothing like Wonder Woman. The fight scene in the hotel room? was so 70's like it hurts my brain to be honest. The acting was somewhat what i expected which is not that good and the tv film has little to do with Diana's actual life mission on saving others and protecting the world. Overall definitely a film that deserved the bad press it got. (0/10)
tennavision "Great Hera!" as Wonder Woman herself would exclaim, this 1974 TV movie is a camped up campy fest , I had to check to make sure John Waters himself didn't direct this version !I remember this so well from my childhood , this incarnation of Wonder Woman was completely different from the '76 version with Lynda Carter, DC comics had not given the films producers full permission to use WW , so the producers of this film took lots of liberties with the character, her tools of the trade & storyline. Crosby's WW costume more closely resembles David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust Character than the Amazonian princess we know & love , very new wave glitter rock '74 style!This bizarro camp fest is more in line with the WW of the late 60's when DC comics completely changed the storyline to make Diana Prince more of a female James Bond . the fun begins & things really get cooking when "The Price Is Right" uber model Anitra Ford co stars as Paradise Island Bad Girl "Ahn-jay-lah(think "Angela" with a snooty accent) who comes to this "man's world" to get her due. Fresh from her stint in "The Big Bird Cage" with Pam Grier ,Anitra Ford really lays on the bada** thick. Watch in amazement as her & Cathy Lee Crosby suddenly turn into male stunt doubles in drag during their fight scenes!! Anitras male stunt double is giving you major cottage cheese in his skin tight polyester pants & Woolworth's Brunette wig - a LAFF RIOT! Ricardo Montalban plays the villain "Abner" as his prototype for Mr. Roarke on "Fantasy Island" , the suave , debonair , ambivalent cucumber cool Casanova with a trick or 2 up his sleeve. Uh... my goodness, the acting, the script, the fight scenes , plus Artie Butler's wicked mini MOOG synthesizer keyboard soundtrack is the gold standard all 70's TV movie's must be measured against A lot of people are disappointed with this version because it takes liberty with the storyline we all know & love & the fact its cheaply made, but if you are a fan of campy Queenius TV movies , this is right up your alley. Watch it tonite with a group of friends & get ready to pause during the "stuntmen in drag" fight scenes! Truly a Wonder, Woman!
Estelle Edwards I don't know....maybe there is something wrong with me, but I actually loved this flick the first time I saw it. Yes, it was ABC's first treatment of the comic book heroine, even though it had little or no resemblance to the original character. Still, I considered it a down-to-earth interpretation which offered the same level of excitement, and, perhaps, more accessible for those adults who - (horrors!) - didn't care for comic books as children. Taking a comic book hero to live action television or film can be very tricky. You somehow have to strike the right balance between the fantastic and reality - which is why I loved this feature. Not many women would look good in the original Wonder Woman costume from the comic book! (Like myself and my bulges, for example..) It's safe to say, however, that more women would be more comfortable in the outfit worn by Cathy Lee Crosby. Her version of 'Wonder Woman' gives us a character who is more like an efficient secretary who also doubles as an agent with special skills and weapons at her disposal. In this movie, 'Wonder Woman' is blonde, but that's no problem for me either. It could be that this treatment allows the more practical-minded among us to dream and fantasize. Who hasn't dreamed of leading the life of a 'James Bond' or 'Diana Rigg'-type of character? That's the appeal of this ABC movie. Anybody who grew up watching stuff like 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.', 'The Avengers', 'The Saint' or similar shows would enjoy this flick, even if they weren't big on 'Wonder Woman' as a kid! It's simply great adventure for most except the die-hard purists, I guess.And I don't mind saying that around the time this movie came out, I dreamed of finding a similar outfit to wear! I had to be about 13 years old!
LarrupinLou I've been reading posts here concerning Wonder Woman's costume for this TV movie. It should be pointed out at the time the movie was made, she wasn't wearing her traditional outfit. The producers were actually sticking to the comic book writer's conception of WW for the early seventies.As for the movie itself, I have to agree with many of the other posters here. Snoozefest! I was a kid when it appeared on ABC in 1974, so I was at the right age to have appreciated a movie about a comic book hero. Yet I was so "engrossed" with the plot, I stopped watching it three quarters into the movie.Of course, I wasn't at the right age to appreciate Cathy Lee! :-)
