The 1974 Cathy Lee Crosby starring Wonder Woman tele-film is actually pretty decent! I challenge all who have nostalgia for old 70s shows to give it a watch, if you can. The dialogue is witty, and Diana, as a character, is written and acted pretty on-point! It's written as a spy-adventure story, and I appreciated that Wonder Woman is this unbeatable spy who is whispered about in the criminal underworld.
Is it a weird movie? Yes! Is the character Wonder Woman physically miscast? Yes. But it's all there, in it's own way! The Island (never named), The Queen Mother bidding her daughter farewell to fight injustice in the world of man, Amazons who salute each other by clanking their braclets when they grasp arms, Steve, a CRAZY super-hero/airline attendant costume with grappling hook bracelets and a hidden lasso in the belt buckle....
I could go on, but I won't. When I work on art, I like to have Wonder Woman content on in the background, so I threw on the DVD, which I did pay money for years ago, but had yet to watch. I found myself actually entertained, and found that, on it's own, it's a fun "Elseworlds" type/multi-verse Wonder Woman!
Thoughts?
Cheers!
