From MONSTER ISLAND NEWS
With an official Marvel Cinematic Universe iteration of Doctor Strange in the works, starring Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role and due to hit movie screens in 2016, I thought it was time to set the Wayback Machine to the 1970s and fall under the spell of the original Dr. Strange movie. As ever, this 1978 TV movie needs to be considered on its own merits, taking into account the budgetary and technological restrictions of its time. Five hundred-year-old sorceress Morgan LeFey (Jessica Walter) is tasked by her nameless, demonic master (a giant, mist-enshrouded puppet, voiced by David Hooks) to slay Earth's current sorcerer supreme, Thomas Lindmer (John Mills... yes, THE John Mills) within an arbitrary timeframe of three days. I suspect he's supposed to be Dormammu...
Thanks, Al :)
