A
free-wheeling private eye attempts to track down the killers of
a small-time hood and finds himself neck-deep in a big time
gambling operation. This pilot to a prospected series called
"Shamus" was an attempt to duplicate the success of
the theatrical feature that was a big hit for Burt Reynolds. Joe
Santos and Larry Block repeated their roles from that film. |

The popular comic book superwoman from the 1940s, the legendary Amazonian princess with the magic golden lasso, the invisible airplane and the bulletdeflecting bracelets, performs incredible feats of skill and daring to save the life of handsome army air force pilot Steve Trevor and then pits her superior powers against Nazi spies who will stop at nothing to eliminate her. This pilot for the 1975-78 series was the first of several subsequent films developed from popular comic book heroes (Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America and others), and the series that followed was aired on an irregular basis on ABC during the first season (set in the 1940s) before moving over to CBS as a weekly show with a contemporary setting, in which Wonder Woman was allied with the son of the original Steve Trevor. Carter and Waggoner continued their characterizations. |

In the
tradition of TV star’s biographies, this skin-deep
dramatization of the Hollywood sex queen chronicles her early
career as a dancer and her evolution into a film star, spanning
the years 1934 to 1952, and put Lynda Carter in the spotlight
with the Israeli actor Aharon Ipahale as Aly Khan. david
Susskind was the executive producer; his son, Andrew the
producer. |
