TV & Movie Reviews: Doctor Strange 1978 TV Pilot

Back in 1978 the Doctor Strange pilot aired and was intended to spin off another Marvel based tv show, like the Incredible Hulk and Spider-Man. But CBS didn't pick it up and this pilot was left to gather dust. Directed by Philip DeGuere Jr. and starring Peter Hooten, Clyde Kusatsu, Jessica Walter, Anne-Marie Martin, Philip Sterling and John Mills.

Plot

Thomas Lindmer (Sir John Mills), a world-weary sorcerer, foresees the return to Earth of his ancient adversary Morgan LeFey (Jessica Walter), who has been granted dominance over men's souls by The Nameless One (David Hooks). In order to combat her evil magic, Lindmer must pass the Guardianship of the Light onto a young psychiatry-resident, Dr. Stephen Strange (Peter Hooten), who has no inkling of his destiny.
