Fun Stuff

Trivia:
This was actually shot in 1964, but it was deemed to be unairable, so it was shelved for four years until Adam West and William Shatner had each reached a certain level of fame to get respectable ratings for the show. At the time of this aired Adam West was in the throws of Batman-mania from the success of his show, and William Shatner was the star of "Star Trek" (1966). more

Where can I get the original version of this pilot, 3 June 2006
Author: antwa100 from United States

I have not seen this film, but I truly would like to, as I was the main Belly dancer in it. Can anyone tell me where I can get a copy of it. I didn't even know who William Shatner or Adam West was at that time. The only person I knew was Joseph Cotton. Carey Leverette was the choreographer (may he rest in peace). Yes, even for the 60's it came across quite corny on the set, but it was a lot of fun. Please, Please, tell me where I can obtain a copy. I have been searching and searching for this for many years. I even got on Shatner's web sight and asked where I could get a copy. I never received the information. Thank you so much. Antoinette
