So far I'm 14 yrs. old and just hearing that music sends me back to home and comfort, warmth, safety, always the same home for all of us on our street at that time. That's why I'm gonna watch 60's& 70's for awhile to look back at the years I haven't had time to remember but I do now. Disabled & retired. But very happy NO MORE WORK. Just me & my dog for 15 yrs. now. Just having fun is all. Goodwill to all to give and for all to receive. Kindness, hope.
I was 11 when this came on. I used to lay on the living room floor and my Mom and I would watch these movies. I as m now disabled and retired and laying in bed at night I have found my childhood is all prerecorded and can be revisited!
Didn't take Conrad long to get his shirt off. He was pretty famous for that lol. Great cast! Thank you for uploading these videos. I have many fond memories of these movies and of that era.
This is by far the greatest channel ever! Please keep these tv classics coming. The seventies were the best time for scary tv movies, before video machines took over this was the only way I would get to see scary stuff on tv!
TV Terrorland you're the most!!!! Killer cast, the gold standard for TV& Film in the 60's and 70's- and directed by John Lewellyn Moxey (sp) he did a bunch of these and his are the better crop at least in my opinion- thanks so much!!!!!
@@radamesgerenajr5741 Movie aired on Tuesday April 6th. 1971. Final film of the ABC Movie Of The Week for the 1970-1971 season. The title of the film is Escape. A pilot for a proposed series about a private eye who can be like Harry Houdini.
great movie for its time it still holds up in my opinion. Great Performances all around, especially from Avery Schreiber who known for comic and satirical roles handles this against type extremely well and is very believable and a great not sidekick to Steel but a great not quite partner not quite Mentor but a vital part of his network of people in his inner circle. Just great work from everyone. I enjoy this very much, thank you for posting this movie and I thought Christopher George was superb in the immortal as well and if the writers would have been consistent in keeping with really good stories this would have been a great hit I think. And the music it's interesting to hear little bits of Mission Impossible and Enter the Dragon in Schifrins score. Coincidentally, score of those as well! So kudos to Schreiber, George, and how fun it was to see Huntz Hall as Gilbert, who handles his dramatic role with ease I thought as well.
Nurse Hell I thought John Vernon had a really great little mini James Bond villain things going there especially with the find it difficult to restrain steels enthusiasm without batting an eye! Or, get him out of here before he breaks something and then when he discovered that his Serum work then he just disintegrated into a crying hysterical old gypsy woman intent on being a stupid idiot!
John Vernon, aka, "Mr. Big" in the blaxploitation movies of this era. He was always an excellent bad guy. You knew you were getting a dirty lowdown underhanded villian with his on screen performances.
Produced by Bruce Lansbury. His sister was the legendary actress Dame Angela Lansbury. Mr. Lansbury was involved with classic TV shows Mannix, The Brady Bunch, MISSION: Impossible, The Magician, Murder She Wrote, The Odd Couple.
Interesting to see Gloria Grahame in many of these 70's TV-movies.--I like Chistopher George in these movies-My favorite is House on Greenapple Road--It's a shame he died young
This looked like a good pilot for a series, a precursor if you will of the Magician with a little Man for Uncle thrown in for good measure!!! Gary Bailey KingofDarkness
Christopher "Rat Patrol" George...great also in Gates of Hell. He die young, I remembered when he passed. I was cleaning in my living room and had the radio on and they announced it on the news 😔
great seeing this. this was a pilot film for a series that did not get picked up. air date was 04/06/71. About a private eye who was also Harry Houdini like.
Thanks for confirming that it was the pilot for a TV series that didn't get picked up. I didn't think I'd seen this as a series but it definitely looked like a pilot for a hopeful TV series.
Thank you for all the great flicks on your site. This one is delisciously cheezy like so many of the movies from the 70's. I took an unguided tour of your site. Very nicely done but I have to tell you that I was very sad to see the deleted films. In particular, Stephen King's "Salem's Lot". A sad disappointment. :

Anyone out there have and can upload the 1973 film "Dying Room Only"? I'm pretty sure it was an ABC Movie of the Week. "A married couple are traveling on a deserted desert road at night. They stop at a diner and the husband goes to the men's room. He never returns and the wife begins to suspect serious foul play." www.imdb.com/title/tt0070012/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl
I have been asking for this movie for ages, it used to be up on YT about 5 years ago but came down very quick. I hope someone posts it again, it's a very good movie.
Dying Room Only Cloris Leachman plays the wife I think? That movie used to be here on UA-cam for Free I think it was Deleted probably for Copyright Infringement.. I watched it before it was deleted I'd love to watch it again hopefully someone else uploads it..
Pretty clearly a first pass at what later became "The Magician" with Bill Bixby, also produced by Bruce Lansbury in 1973, or thereabouts. In fact, the scene in the tattoo parlor appears almost verbatim in an epsiode of The Magician.
Does anyone know the name of a tv movie where kids about a stranger from town , I believe it was 1970s, the car they hide, they use the stranger as a sacriface
Kammiesue Brunswick oh, Is say it could be about, narrowed down, well.....from the 70's...adult sacrifice.... abandoned car..... weird kids..vanishings..

I would’ve been just a five year old boy although I always preferred the earlier horror films made instead of this crap coming out today.❤

An entertaining way to spend an hour,thanks for posting.

Chris George who died too soon, I liked him also in the Rat Patrol. This was a pilot for a tv show.

Chris was a an excellent action star sort of like Robert Conrad without the attitude

Wow, that rings a bell. They usually make movies that later will be implemented.
I like Christopher George.
Kids,that's why they tell you to sit still , buckle your seatbelt and keep for arms and hands inside the ride until it comes to a complete stop.
This movie is kinda like
'Escape From Witch Mountain' but
without the witch. And no mountain.

Well, gas was 32.9 cents a gallon back then.. Yes, I seem to remember that. And the minimum wage wage $1.25 an hour..
This lady is channeling Shirley Jones in The Partridge Family.
One of the best shows of Christopher George
A shame, this could have been a TV series.

Starting from 7:16 to 8:25 Was great, retro cool intro!
That's one of the coolest intros ive ever seen.

Very lucky they were fighting in one of those empty cardboard box warehouses. Someone could’ve been hurt otherwise.
Great movie 🥰

yes there was a time when you had a car phone you were considered the top of high tech.

@frankd1965- this reminds me of "It Takes a Thief"- remember? @tapeduk- I love Christopher George, James Franciscus too, do you remember him?
Jennifer Scott I sure do. this film was a pilot film for series that was never picked up. this aired on ABC Movie Of The Week 1970-1971 season.

The plot is utterly ridiculous. Completely, absolutely, totally rubbish and a half. My kinda movie! 🎥🤗
Cory Ann Topanga interesting thing is that the guy here is Harry Houdini
My school song plays at the end in the amusement park. Wish I knew the name of the song.
Not the type of movie I like, but thank you!
this movie reminds me a little of the tv show the WILD WILD WEST

It's James Bondage!

Was that Huntz Hall and Daniel J. Travanti in that Crystal Ball scene? And I wonder if they reworked this idea for Bill Bixby's The Magician?
Predictive programming.

mila1082 pilot film for an unsold TV show. ABC Movie Of The Week that aired on April 6th, 1971.

East side kids.
Huntz Hall played Satch on The Dead End Kids, Eastside Kids and The Bowery Boys. He was the bartender on this film.
