From: Donald.Schmitz@CMU-RI-ARM Someone claimed Earth II as the movie everyone is searching for with 3 astronauts going into suspended animation on a space station. This was definitely not Earth II. Earth II was a fairly good TV sf film about the crew of, an I think, international space station, disarming a nuclear warhead which the Soviets or Chinese placed in orbit. It appeared a good while ago, early 70's, and if I remember had pretty good effects, though not a very heavy plot.

Please clarify. > > I remember the movie mentioned, about the space station that disarms > a Chinese nuclear warhead. I don't know what it was called. The latter movie *is* EARTH II, and *it* stars Gary Lockwood. The former movie is one of two possibilities: (1) JOURNEY TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE SUN (1969), starring Roy Thinnes, and produced by Century 21 Productions (Gerry & Sylvia Anderson). (2) THE STRANGER (1973), a made-for-tv movie (pilot for a series that was never made) starring Glenn Corbett, Lew Ayres, and Cameron Mitchell. Both films are set on a world on the opposite side of the sun (Gor?) from the Earth, sharing the same orbit. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...} !decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA <"Filmography is my pastime">
