Review of Dr. Strange (1978) by Eric H — 24 Mar 2014
I absolutely adore this made for TV film. Frankly having just re-watched a VHS I have I would so love to have this on DVD. It gets NO AIRINGS on TV to my knowledge. Shame.I loved Peter Hooten and John Mills and Clyde Kusatsu.
What a HOME Lindmer had!!! The vivacious Jessica Walter at her absolute sexiest! There is something very special about this film; a compassion, a humanity that can sometimes appear cheesy and forced in the medium however, despite what some may think, there is a genuineness about Hooten and Mills performances that I found so refreshing.
Keeping in mind that this is made for TV and with a background that lends itself to formulaic triteness I think the crew did a heck of a job.The set for Lindmer's house is well done for a film with a rock bottom budget.
Good versus Evil, as old as man, and this is a special entry in that genre.
