Thank you for all these fantastic videos. I watched EVERYTHING on TV about space when I was growing up, and most of them were pretty forgettable, lol. The nostalgia of getting to see all of these again, especially ones like this and Project UFO, is amazing. Never thought I would get to see them! Thanks!
This is such a great movie. I remember watching it when it was first broadcast. 50 years later, it's still great, even if a little dated. Susan Clarke and Monty Markham do a fine job. But, 40 years after the events in the movie, we still haven't landen men on Mars.
@@sherrielee8871 Notice the huge difference between Nixon and Watergate versus today... Barry Goldwater went to the Oval Office to explain to Nixon that Republicans were NOT going to cover for him. He was going to be Impeached and Removed by his own party. Today they will support you through attempt to overthrow the government. Convicted of dozens of felonies? No prob. Determined by multiple courts of law that you're a serial rapist? We've got your back. It's night and day. The values in this movie reflect that. Robert Lansing is the most nefarious character. And even he does not push it any further.
A really good TV flick, focusing more on the humanity of the person as opposed to the conspiracy concept. Well acted by Monte Markham, Susan Clark, and Jackie Cooper. Robert Lansing is fine as well. Far better than Capricorn One, which it predated by six years. Well worth it.
It was Oscar Goldman and Barney Miller in 1974, changed to Barney Hiller in 1975 so as to not be confused with the new series that premiered: Hal Linden sit-com character Barney Miller.
Had Nixon not killed the Apollo Space Program in favor of the Space Shuttle, we would've probably made it to Mars by 1981. Wernher von Braun said it could be done by the early 80's.
The Apollo Space Program was so exciting as NASA got us closer to the moon with each new launch. And then we looked towards Mars. The Space Shuttle is not! With each launch being nothing but a repeat of the previous launch, it’s no wonder that there is little or no interest in NASA.

Wow reminds me of a mixed up version of Capricorn one via the movie Seconds and a Steve Austin Astronaut bionic man prequel movie to the tv show. I like 😎 watch this late night I remind yourself there where only 3 or 4 channels available in the early 1970s 😁crazy huh ?
I watched this to see if it had any input to my friend's TV show, "Lost". Seems like it might've. But to understand that, you'd have to understand that "Lost" was about doubles posed as survivors of an airline crash that actually killed all aboard.
Terrific movie, great ending, excellent acting. Goes back far enough as not to have any swear words and sex. Is there someone out there with enough money to hire someone to digitize this movie? (How much does a thing like that cost, BTW?) I still like Capricorn One but the swearing is terrible. Believe it or not, I had an edited copy of it from when it was on regular TV and I recorded it on VHS. Alas, it got away from me.
Which movie was about the government hiring three men to fake the moon landing? At the end, the one astronaut showed up at his own funeral, which the government was staging. I can't seem to find that one.
Interesting the way this ended......Jackie Cooper's final words, "Mr President, This is Kurt Anderson, I have some very unpleasant news for both of us sir". Most likely, it means he is telling the truth.....but it could also be the words that proceed "Brice and Gail Randolph were just killed in an accident", so they could get ready for "The Astronaut 2" in 1973. lol....
One problem with not telling the truth is that when the Russians die they too will discover that it was caused by something in the Martian atmosphere and they will know that NASA knew and didn't tell them. But you're right, the "both of us" indicates that he could willing to do the worst thing and kill really Eddie and Gail.
her doctor says keep her warm, then he returns and it is said, the chopper is here. is this an attempt at a sex movie or mission to mars. bloody hell.?
This was broadcast TV in 1972, not Marvel Comics in 2017. No one back then would've taken that comment to imply a lesbian relationship between the nurse and the patient.
Cap. One was 1978, probably the best conspiracy movie, ruined with lots of swearing. By the way S. Hampshire's Wikipedia page omits this movie, which was certainly one of the better TV movies.
They must have forgotten that Mars is a few million miles away and there is a time delay for radio communication between Earth and Mars .. You couldn't carry on a conversation like this due to that time delay .. Laser communication ? Line of site is needed for that
Always wanted to see this again. Thanks so much!!!

Great to see this TV movie - many thanks for the upload!
An excellent little film. Well acted and an insight in humanity.
Hi I wanted to say I was debating whether to see this however your comment convinced me 😀🌼
@@pauladaniels-bc7rjThank you so much.

Monte markham was gorgeous, great movie too
Thanks for sharing this movie. It's from a long ago time when truth and honesty really did matter to us all. They both still do.
“When truth and honesty really did matter”?? It was made during the Watergate and Nixon era🤣🤣🤣

It's night and day.
The values in this movie reflect that.
Robert Lansing is the most nefarious character.
And even he does not push it any further.
Best lines:
"Eddie, it doesn't concern you."
"It concerns me. People dying concerns me."
Never heard of this move; pleasantly surprised and better than expected. Somehow reminded me of Capricorn One.

Thanks. I couldn't have said it any better. This movie stuck with me since 1972.
Underrated film. Should be released with better film quality. OMG Susan Clark was so beautiful!
Thanks for the posting....
back when shows had true moralistic value.
☺️Thanks for the movie.
I've been looking for this since 1972.
This would make a great stage play.

This movie made me the man I am today
Oscar Goldman and Barney Hillman from The Six Million Dollar Man tv show are in this TV movie.
You mean Richard Anderson?
It was Oscar Goldman and Barney Miller in 1974, changed to Barney Hiller in 1975 so as to not be confused with the new series that premiered: Hal Linden sit-com character Barney Miller.

@@michaelmckenna6464 Well hopefully Elon Musk & Space X in partnership with NASA will eventually get us to Mars.

yeah, but the content was better.
1973 was a great year for movies
Thank you
this was 3 years before he played Barney Miller, the 7-Million-Dollar-Man, "World's 2nd bionic man"

This is much better than Capricorn one and it doesn't feature a real life murderer
At 0:43, anticipating wide-screen HDTV.
Sounds kinda similar to "The Astronaut's Wife" from 1999.
Terrific movie, great ending, excellent acting. Goes back far enough as not to have any swear words and sex. Is there someone out there with enough money to hire someone to digitize this movie?

It sounds a bit like the "Apollo 18" movie too, although involving Mars rather than the Moon.

59:00. Why not just let em both live as gail and brice?
JFK or Faul?
... 1981?...I GOT MY 9th PUBE IN THE SUMMER OF '81'... OHHH! MY GLORY DAY.. WELL AN HOUR AND A HALF 😂
Still the flag moves where there is no O2.
But it is not the same as the moon. There are dust storms on Mars, so there is wind.
@@glouconx983 Exactly.

So this is a ripoff of "Capricorn 1", or is it the other way around??
