A super-hero uses her powers to thwart an international spy ring. Cathy Lee Crosby might be one beautiful looking woman but she's no Lynda Carter or better yet Gal Gadot. The film has taken the source material in a very bad and different way to the point where we see a blonde woman wearing a jumpsuit with stars in it basically? she looks nothing like Wonder Woman. The fight scene in the hotel room? was so 70's like it hurts my brain to be honest. The acting was somewhat what i expected which is not that good and the tv film has little to do with Diana's actual life mission on saving others and protecting the world. Overall definitely a film that deserved the bad press it got. (0/10)

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

"Great Hera!" as Wonder Woman herself would exclaim, this 1974 TV movie is a camped up campy fest , I had to check to make sure John Waters himself didn't direct this version !I remember this so well from my childhood , this incarnation of Wonder Woman was completely different from the '76 version with Lynda Carter, DC comics had not given the films producers full permission to use WW , so the producers of this film took lots of liberties with the character, her tools of the trade & storyline. Crosby's WW costume more closely resembles David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust Character than the Amazonian princess we know & love , very new wave glitter rock '74 style!This bizarro camp fest is more in line with the WW of the late 60's when DC comics completely changed the storyline to make Diana Prince more of a female James Bond . the fun begins & things really get cooking when "The Price Is Right" uber model Anitra Ford co stars as Paradise Island Bad Girl "Ahn-jay-lah(think "Angela" with a snooty accent) who comes to this "man's world" to get her due. Fresh from her stint in "The Big Bird Cage" with Pam Grier ,Anitra Ford really lays on the bada** thick. Watch in amazement as her & Cathy Lee Crosby suddenly turn into male stunt doubles in drag during their fight scenes!! Anitras male stunt double is giving you major cottage cheese in his skin tight polyester pants & Woolworth's Brunette wig - a LAFF RIOT! Ricardo Montalban plays the villain "Abner" as his prototype for Mr. Roarke on "Fantasy Island" , the suave , debonair , ambivalent cucumber cool Casanova with a trick or 2 up his sleeve. Uh... my goodness, the acting, the script, the fight scenes , plus Artie Butler's wicked mini MOOG synthesizer keyboard soundtrack is the gold standard all 70's TV movie's must be measured against A lot of people are disappointed with this version because it takes liberty with the storyline we all know & love & the fact its cheaply made, but if you are a fan of campy Queenius TV movies , this is right up your alley. Watch it tonite with a group of friends & get ready to pause during the "stuntmen in drag" fight scenes! Truly a Wonder, Woman!

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.
