Absolutely Fantastic

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Mehdi Hoffman
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I recently viewed the Unaired pilot from 1966 which starred Alan Young as Stanley H. Beamish. Of interest - it had four writers - George Balzer, Hal Goodman, Al Gordon and Joel Kane It was directed by Don Weis. I was amazed at the amount of familiar faces appearing - Edward Andrews as The Chief of OSA Jesse White as Mr. Finney, Department Store Manager Sheliah Welles as Gloria Dickinson Richard Merrifield as OSA Agent Tony Lawrence Al Checco as Dr Kramer Nelson Olmstead as Airline Pilot Leon Askin as Russian Agent Dick Wilson as Evol - Russian Agent and the voice of Bob Hastings dubbed for the OAS Agent in the office scene. Good special effects for '66, of course the use of the laugh track is off-putting and I can see why Mr Young decided to pass on the series. An interesting curio worth checking out at least once

I was 16 when this series aired. Something clicked. I never forgot it. I also saw Captain Nice which followed on NBC. Mr. Terrific was on CBS. Captain Nice was a satire in the Get Smart tradition. It was a fairly good show. I liked it. Mr. Terrific was an average situation comedy.Stephen Strimpell, who wished that he could have forgotten this series, played Stanley Beamish, an incompetent super hero, who in real life is a weakling. Dick Gautier in a change from Hymie the robot on Get Smart, played Stanley's partner, Hal Walters. The government Agents were played to perfection by John McGiver (Mr. Reed) & Paul Smith (Mr. Trent). Harley Trent's comments were priceless. Stanley just managed to succeed even though on one mission, he kidnaps an understudy instead of the ballerina. Of course there are funny moments along the way. You see a little bit of what it might be like to be a part time super hero.Not much of a show. I still don't know why I'm crazy about it. I wish it would be released on DVD here. It is available only in Germany.

In 1967 I was just shy of five years old... but I had a recollection of a TV show where a man's powers would always leave him in the middle of a fight - I think even once when he was flying. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere her but I think he had a watch with an alarm which would go off when his powers were about to expire - I remember on fight in a garage where he was rolling under cars to avoid the criminals in the scene after his powers had run out...Even my parents couldn't remember this show - finally a friend who is about 5 years older than me remembered it and told me the name - ahh! Thank you people for letting me know I wasn't dreaming up things...Now if someone would just find a way to get some old clips... don't know if they allow emails here - but if you find some, please send email to me at agpbasc@aol.com

I can't believe someone else remembers this show! For twenty five years I've had a picture in my head of a portly guy in a suit talking across a desk to a skinny guy with a cape. They were in a high-rise building and the skinny guy flew out the window. I remembered he was some sort of secret agent. No one else remembered it and they thought I was thinking of Get Smart. I finally found it! I can now die in peace!
