Either I've completely missed this epic, or completely forgotten it. When I was a kid I remember a movie about people travelling to what must have been a lunar base and some clerk handing an annoying child a ball of water to keep him quiet. The water dissipated as soon as the gravity went full. For the life of me I can't remember what the movie was, but it may have been this one.
This seems to get a showing on TV about as often as "City Beneath the Sea" with Stuart Whitman.
Thanks David, for taking the time to create the pages for this classic film
Neil... Is that the one where the annoying kid brings his cap-pistol to the orbital habitat and it is confiscated at the reception desk? (Maybe they should have gone through the luggage BEFORE shipping it to high orbit!)
(Nukes defused with a wrench. Not 'using', 'shoving'.)
That cap gun scene sounds familiar too. Seems like the kid didn't like their no-weapons policy and the the condescending way they treated him. You may well be on to the movie I was thinking of, if it was a Movie of the Week offering it probably wasn't very memorable!!
I know I watched a ton of that crap back in the early 70s so it could be anything.
Yes but since you knew that it is now possible for my life to resume! LOL
Seriously, thank you.
It had Gary Lockwood in it, no wonder I couldn't remember it!!
Now if I could just think of the one from the 1980s about a detective in a "near future" Los Angeles working a case with a cute little blonde and an IBM Selectric that typed when it was spoken to.
Was Lockwood in that one? I remember he was in the one where he had the glowing eyes or something, but I was thinking it was someone like Steve Forrest that was Gary Seven.

ABC made for TV movie.

Gentlemen, you are thinking of the prissy little utopian made-for-TV movie from 1971, Earth II.

The Gary Lockwood thing was a spin-off of the original Star Trek - that was from the Gary Seven episode (with if I remember correctly Teri Garr!)
That was going ot end up a series...thankfully it didn't...
