  1. *The Satan Bug* (1965) Wednesday, March 26, 7:15 a.m. Eastern Time.

     

    Stars George Maharis, Anne Francis, Richard Basehart, and Dana Andrews.

     

    This "sleeper" is a top-notch thriller about the search for missing vials of deadly viruses. I first saw this in the late 1960s, and it had me on the edge of my seat. Maharis is the government agent trying to find the vials, with Anne Francis the romantic interest. In supporting roles, look for Ed Asner and Frank Sutton as hoods, and James ("Scotty") Doohan as a government agent. The film has a wild climax inside a helicopter flying over L.A. Highly recommended.

  2. Reminder: *The Strange Woman* starring Hedy Lamarr. Tuesday, March 25, 10:00 a.m. Eastern time

     

    Hedy looks great, although her Austrian accent in Maine is never explained. Louis Hayward falls apart, and George Sanders does not play a slimeball for a change. The ending is a cop-out, probably to satisfy the Code. Watch for Ian MacDonald (Frank Miller from High Noon) in a small part.

  3. I just checked my TV Directory book. There was a character called Tony Verdeschi (sounds Italian) who was First Officer, but Landau was the commander. Apparently they were on the moon and the moon itself got blasted into space. Looks like the series ran for two years, starting in 1975.

     

    Maybe "Tony" is in this picture:
