everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Am I Missing Something?

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I remember seeing this as a young teenage girl. Although blonde, I never once questioned Cathy Lee Crosby's performance as being the real thing. IN my eyes, she was the true Wonder Woman, Graceful, Athletic, Intelligent, Witty and gorgeously attired, supportive without being servile to the then Strong Macho world. Years later, it took me a while but I finally was able to acquire the movie. I watched it twice in a row and it was just as good as when I first saw it back in 74.Great plot, good backstory and who could not fall in gaga heaven listening and watching Ricardo Montalban, who truly is a great actor himself, still love watching him young and old as Khan on Star Trek. I hope the new Wonder Woman movie that is going to be coming out in 2017 takes notes that a woman can be strongly aggressive without being masculine, and sensitive without being a wimpy doormat. She clearly is able to appreciate the males of the species without surrendering her identity or integrity. WW thinks quickly on her feet, is charming in the face of adversity and firmly embodies the idea of truth, justice, and equality. Plus she has excellent taste in clothes, elegant, classy, yet functional. Plus, Glass Airplane!! Cinderellla eat your heart out. lol. I think Today's women and young ladies are finally starting to incorporate this idea into the female stereotype. If you can find the movie, yes, it might be suggested by some that it is a little campy, but look beyond and you will have a great mid week evening movie to enjoy.

Cathy Lee Crosby TV Movie-1974 Much like the original Kristy Swanson Buffy movie, Lucy Lawless' various roles in Hercules before she played Xena or Airwolf without Hawke and Dom this is pretty much a curiosity. It doesn't feel like real Wonder Woman, she lacks powers and all the accoutrement's we've come to expect from the character over the years. We have Steve Trevor but he's pretty forgettable and isn't given much to do. He's aware she's WW and aids her in her mission from afar. Ricardo Montalban is good as the villain (KHHHAAANNNNN!) and looks like he's getting ready for his role on fantasy island (wouldn't it be great if this was the role that got him the part?). Quite bloodthirsty, 2 characters are shot off screen and one man drowned. Cathy Lee Crosby is lovely but she doesn't really provide much cheesecake factor, her wardrobe really not helping at all. One interesting element is the existence of the evil amazon who challenges her, you'd have liked to have seen that in the later Lynda Carter series. Interestingly the character of Calvin asks to make love to WW, a sexual ref not featured in the later series. One of Steve's colleagues leers over her too in borderline Mad Men style office sexual harassment.We do see WW in costume ride a motorbike as Lynda Carter will later do. Really this is WW as a secret agent much like The Avengers (UK style, John Steed&co rather than Marvel) and The Girl from Uncle and not as a super heroine at all. It really doesn't work, it's WW written from a 70s feminist viewpoint and that just won't do, the genius of the character is that she is strong, intelligent and the match/better of any man whilst still retaining her ultra-feminine identity, she loves being a woman and doesn't try to act more masculine. It's interesting to compare this to Charlies Angels which had a similar premise but kept the glamour. Really 2/10, you only watch this for completeness sake

I actually sat through this movie waiting for the real WONDER WOMAN to pop out at any second. She never did?!! At first, I hated this horrible-not-even-close version... But about 3 years later I read how they were trying to market towards the working women's lib instead of the "superhero" fanatics. So, I pondered on that for a while thinking that yes, it was & sometimes still is a male dominated world. On that note, I sat through the movie again... but, again, it wasn't good. It didn't suck! But it's not the Wonder Woman we all know, love, & at one time or another pretended to be. Or pretended to be Superman with Wonder Woman. If I sat through a film called "The Wonder's of a Woman" then I may have given the film a chance...But thats not what it is. This is Diana Price who is from Paradise Island. She is smarter, she is keen, & she is a knockout. But where is the leaps, the strength, the spinning around letting your hair fall gracefully down her back & then changing to the stunning costume (& always hoping she would wear the cape or the swimsuit!) Nope, not in this movie! She changes at the hotel! Sorry, don't think so!(4) Z.

As the previous reviewer has commented, fans of the "Wonder Woman" comic and the later effort by Lynda Carter will overall be very disappointed. Indeed, this is not the Wonder Woman we are used to (different 70's style "no cleavage" costume, blond hair) but Cathy Lee Crosby is indeed a wonder to behold. Having moved on from semi-pro tennis player with little acting experience, she holds her own well against foe Ricardo Montalban (although this "foe" has to be one of the most charming, non-threatening villains ever portrayed in a Super Hero film). Notable appearance by original "Price Is Right" gal Anitra Ford as a fellow Paradise Island "lady gone bad." Quirky highlights include a "James Bond" type arsenal of bracelets, a "hidden" not-so-magic lasso, and, low and behold, Wonder Woman actually checking in to a hotel (perhaps someone would notice she's really Diana Price?). And who could ever forget Artie Butler's catchy theme that sounds like it uses a Dentist's drill as the main instrument. Believe it or not, I do enjoy this TV Movie as an "alternative" Wonder Woman, but I'm just glad that ABC gave the Super Heroine another chance after this failed Pilot. The world may have never met Lynda Carter.
