Dr. Strange
Dr. Strange
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.

Saw this one in my adult years, curious about Marvel’s early attempts and drawn in by the promise of psychedelic sorcery on a TV budget. Peter Hooten plays Dr. Stephen Strange, a psychiatry resident who’s unknowingly destined to become Earth’s magical guardian.
His mentor, Thomas Lindmer (John Mills), must pass on the Guardianship of the Light before Morgan LeFay (Jessica Walter) unleashes soul snatching chaos.
The effects are pure 70's TV glowing portals, swirling lights and a New York that looks suspiciously like a backlot.
But there’s charm in the earnestness and Jessica Walter steals scenes with villainous flair.
The cast is eclectic: Clyde Kusatsu as Wong, Anne-Marie Martin as Clea and a parade of nurses, interns and mystical types who feel plucked from daytime drama.
I liked the ambition, the retro pacing and the way it made feel campy, cosmic and slightly hypnotized with astral projections, velvet robes and a hero who looks more disco than doctor.
