1.Blind Faith starring: Robert Urich, Joanna Kerns, David Barry Gray, Jay Underwood, Johnny Galecki directed by: Paul Wendkos January 15, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.99
This movie is top notch. True to life, with one exception, the mistress that Marshall had was a real bow wow!!!!!!!!!!!! Her father, Lester Glenn, in which this trial killed due to a broken heart, was the owner of a car dealership. Maria was beautiful, and Sarann was ugly, lets say howled at the moon!!!!!! The oldest son was on set as an advisor to the movie and made sure his mother story was told honestly, not like his low life father's attorney tried to protray her. I watched it then and would watch it again and again

2.Danielle Steel's Message From Nam starring: Jenny Robertson, Nick Mancuso, Ed Flanders, Ted Marcoux, Hope Lange directed by: Paul Wendkos November 18, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.97
I saw the movie on TV, I ordered it for my collection. I think it was in June. I have never recieved it. I'm still waiting. I loved it. it is one of MS. Steels best made for tv movies.

3.Gidget (1959) starring: Sandra Dee, James Darren, Cliff Robertson, Arthur O'Connell, Bruce Belland directed by: Paul Wendkos June 04, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.50
The reputation of the original "Gidget" (1959) has eroded over the years thanks to two weak sequels and a truly dreadful television series. So if you have never seen the original don't dismiss it based on the extremely shallow content of the Gidget stuff that came later. While not a good double-feature match for "Rebel Without a Cause", it is dark and serious enough to still have some relevance While presenting a rather tame portrait of California's surf and beatnik counterculture, it fits solidly with the better coming-of-age/generational revolution stuff of the 1950's and 60's. Sixteen year-old Francis Lawrence (Sandra Dee at her most innocent) is the film's title character; girl plus midget equals Gidget. Dee managed to avoid the other two features and the television ...

4.Gidget Goes Hawaiian starring: James Darren, Michael Callan, Deborah Walley, Carl Reiner, Peggy Cass directed by: Paul Wendkos June 22, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.95
I am so excited I found this site. When the movie came out, my friends and I went to the Theater and saw it 2 times. Then we went back the next day and saw it again. I love the Hawaiian setting, it made me really want to visit Hawaii. I finally got my wish and went to Hawaii in 2006. I took a cruise and spent 3 days in Wakiki. I had intentions to visit the Moana hotel, hoping the Moana Room is still there, but I ran out of time. Does anyone know it the Moana room still exist? I also heard that Debra Walley is deceased.

5.Woman Called Moses starring: Cicely Tyson, Orson Welles, Will Geer, Robert Hooks, James Wainwright directed by: Paul Wendkos February 24, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.99
I guess I need to explain my three stars as having nothing to do with the content of this movie. So I'll present the pros first,then the cons. Well obviously I watched this 70's TV movie (well on DVD that is) because I see Harriet Tubman as an often forgotten American hero who not only formed the "underground railroad" and personally led many slaves to freedom in the north but her later involvment in the Civil War and her later crusades for the early stirrings of woman's rights in the suffergete movement. I read books about her as a child and Harriet Tubman is even the subject of a painting I made a few years ago. Cicily Tyson does an incredible job as Harriet,who starts out a slave of course,bitter and angry at the injustices around her.She endures many of the humiliations accorded to slaves (including ...

6.Mephisto Waltz starring: Alan Alda, Jacqueline Bisset, Barbara Parkins, Bradford Dillman, William Windom directed by: Paul Wendkos November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.95
This very Seventies, post-Rosemary's Baby (1968) horror thriller is remembered fondly by many viewers for its dated aspects. A pre-M.A.S.H. Alan Alda plays music journalist Myles Clarkson, whose own career as a pianist was earlier squelched by critical disdain. He lives modestly with his gorgeous wife (Jacqueline Bisset) and precocious child (perennial child star of the era, Pamela Ferdyn). Interviewing aging musical maestro Duncan Ely (Curt Jurgens), Alda is drawn into Ely's rich, sinister milieu that includes his far too young concubine Roxanne (an unforgettable Barbara Parkins, in perhaps her keynote role) and other wealthy Satanists. Alda returns to the piano with increased fervor following Jurgens' death, and has appeared to inherit his mentor's death supernaturally. But the devil must be paid his due, and soon ... Read More

7.Tommy Thompson's Celebrity starring: Michael Beck, James Whitmore, Hal Holbrook, Joseph Bottoms, Ben Masters directed by: Paul Wendkos November 26, 1986
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.76
A very good TV mini-series in three episodes. It shows how three promising (or at least two) high school students are led into some criminal action and subsequent cover-up by the less promising one of the three. They will all become famous. One after a football accident will regenerate as an actor. One will follow his plan and become a very famous reporter and journalist. The less promising one will end up making money in some illegal way, spending some time in prison and discovering that preaching is a good career. They will finally confront one another and face the past crime. It will lead to a catastrophe and also to revelation and « justice ». The series shows very well that the motivations of people to become famous, rich, powerful can be very different, and the roads to that fame, power or wealth very haphazard ... Read More

9.White Hot:Murder of Thelma Todd starring: Loni Anderson, Maryedith Burrell, Robert Davi, Paul Dooley, Linda Kelsey directed by: Paul Wendkos September 19, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.25
White Hot: The Mysterious Murder of Thelma Todd is basically faithful to the Andy Edmonds biography on which it is based, but ads fictional details such as private eye investigating the case and an imprisoned gangster who tells him some of the details of the case. Roland West is portrayed as quite a bit youg than he really was, and Pat di Cicco is portrayed as quite a bit older than he really was. Somehow, Zasu Pitts is left out of the story altogether, Patsy Kelly is here portrayed as being Thelma's screen partner all along ( actually Thelma Todd was first teamed with Zasu Pitts ) but Loni Anderson did a good job of portraying Thelma Todd and altogether it made and entertaining mystery movie for television.
