Originally produced for television, the video series Secrets of the Unknown invites you into the world of the bizarre, strange, and unusual. From ninjas who are said to transform into panthers, to the peculiar myths and rituals surrounding King Tut's tomb, to Hitler's occult connections, these documentaries provide a rich visual showcase for unexplained phenomena and natural disasters. The program Secrets of the Unknown: Tornadoes explores nature's deadly spirals. Highlights include actual footage of the violent force and the mass destruction that tornadoes create. Actor Edward Mulhare, known for his role in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, hosts this in-depth look at the frightening power of nature's fury. ~ Sally Barber, All Movie Guide

Jerry Orbach returns as hard-boiled Boston private eye Harry McGraw, who once again teams up with Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) to solve a murder. This time the victim is a popular actor, who had agreed to serve as one of the auctioneers accepting bids for a torrid diary written by a onetime sex symbol. Not only is the author of the diary under suspicion, but so are several others who'd been a part of her tragic past, obliging Jessica to burrow through the sizeable suspect list so that Harry can make a pinch. Watch for Angela Lansbury's former Picture of Dorian Gray costar Hurd Hatfield--not to mention Jean VanderPyl, the longtime voice of cartoondom's Wilma Flintstone! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The fourth and final season of Knight Rider stars David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a former cop who after being saved from death by a billionaire do-gooder becomes an undercover agent for the Knight Foundation for Law and Order. Michael continues to take his marching orders from the foundation's head man, Devon Ross (Edward Mulhare), even though there is little love lost between the two men. And of course, Michael's greatest ally in his fight against evil is the super-powered, weapon-laden Trans Am car K.I.T.T., who in addition to being rigged with state-of-the-art computer technology also possesses a brain and a voice (provided by William Daniels). Rounding out the cast is Patricia McPherson as K.I.T.T.'s curvaceous mechanic Bonnie Bristow; and a character new to the series, streetwise male mechanic Reginald Cornelius III, aka RC3 (Peter Parros). RC3 is introduced in season four's two-part opener, "Knight of the Juggernaut," in which Mike and K.I.T.T. rescue their new team member from the clutches of his old street gang. In other episodes, Bonnie is among those kidnapped by a disgruntled former government agent-turned-airplane hijacker -- and once she has escaped this dilemma, she poses as a jet setter in order to prevent the U.S. from succumbing to germ warfare. Additional adventures find Michael quitting the foundation after one close call too many; K.I.T.T. turning killer when he is reprogrammed by a mad genius; Michael and K.I.T.T. combining forces to trap a homicidal magician (played by real-life illusionist Lance Burton); our heroes trying to help a down-and-out boxer, in an episode featuring such luminaries as Ken Norton, Jerry Quarry, and Don King; and, in the last episode of the series, Michael, K.I.T.T., et al. endeavoring to get to the bottom of a supposed curse that has claimed the lives of several archeologists. ~ All Movie Guide

Season two of Knight Rider finds professional do-gooder Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) still behind the wheel of his high-tech, computerized, weapon-festooned Trans Am, K.I.T.T., which, just as in season one, "speaks" in the imperious voice of actor William Daniels. And also just as in season one, Michael and K.I.T.T. are dispatched on their various missions by Devon Miles (Edward Mulhare), the head of Knight Industries Foundation for Law and Order. New to the series this season is Rebecca Holden as April Curtis, replacing the previous season's Bonnie Barstow as K.I.T.T.'s attractive mechanic and Michael's occasional assistant. The season opener is the two-part "Goliath," in which the ex-wife (Barbara Rush) of Michael Knight's late benefactor, Wilton Knight, and Wilton's biological son (who looks just like Michael, and is played by Hasselhoff!), go to great and sometimes deadly lengths to gain control of K.I.T.T. In later episodes, Michael goes undercover as a convict to prevent a madman from blowing up an entire city; K.I.T.T. uses his (its?) deductive skills to find a Robin Hood-like cat burglar; a computer hacker turns K.I.T.T. into a dangerous weapon, bent on destroying Michael; an amnesiac Michael reverts to his previous identity as cop Michael Long, with no memory of K.I.T.T. or Knight Industries; Michael and K.I.T.T. race against time to locate the fugitive tissue donor who holds the life of a little girl in his hands; and in another two-parter, "Mouth of the Snake," our hero joins forces with a wealthy widow and a secret agent to retrieve a stolen rocket launcher before it is -- gasp -- too late! ~ All Movie Guide

Opening with a two-hour "TV movie" pilot (which has since been edited into two separate hour-long episodes), season one of Knight Rider affords viewers their first glimpses of former cop-turned-independent crime fighter Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff), his ill-tempered boss, Devon Miles (Edward Mulhare), and Knight's remarkable custom-made vehicle, "K.I.T.T." (Knight Industries Two Thousand), a black Trans Am armed with a near-indestructible chassis, state-of-the-art weaponry and surveillance equipment, the ability to fly through the air, and a somewhat haughty computerized "artificial intelligence," complete with a personality and the ability to speak (in the voice of actor William Daniels). Owing his life to the inventor of K.I.T.T., Michael has dedicated that life to protecting the innocent and tracking down evildoers whenever and wherever he can. During the series' first season, Knight and K.I.T.T. are occasionally aided and abetted by attractive auto mechanic Bonnie Barstow (Patricia McPherson). The opening episode explains how undercover cop Michael Long, shot in the face and left for dead, is saved and "recreated" by Wilton Knight (Richard Basehart), billionaire inventor of K.I.T.T.'s technology. Once Long has re-emerged as Michael Knight, our hero agrees to take orders from Devon Miles (Edward Mulhare), successor to the late Wilton Knight as head of Knight Industries Foundation for Law and Order. Subsequent episodes find Michael and his faithful vehicle foiling a gang of motorcycle punks, exposing a murderous saboteur at an auto daredevil show, protecting a political candidate from assassins, helping an amnesiac girl recall the identity of a hired killer, rescuing a nosy female reporter from crooked race-car promoters, solving a series of murders in a MENSA-type club for geniuses, and matching wits with a private eye who prefers the "old reliable" methods to Michael's computer-dominated procedures. ~ All Movie Guide

The drab and lonely life of Martha Howard (Joanne Linville) suddenly becomes quite eventful--and dangerous. Martha has entered into an affair with Brian Downing (Edward Mulhare), a prominent, and married, British cabinet minister. At the same time, Downing's embittered wife (Pippa Scott) hires a hotheaded young man named Bobby Nelson (Steve Keats)--for the purpose of getting close to Martha, then murdering her. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This documentary feature follows the Bengal Tiger in the wild. The film is unusual in that it does not focus excessively on the tiger making hunting kills, neither does it focus on tigers being killed. Instead, it gives a good look at the family life of tigers and the natural settings in which they live. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

A fine cast distinguishes this unusual supernatural thriller. When London-based vintner Phillippe de Montfaucon (David Niven) receives the bad news that dry weather is expected to destroy crops in his vineyard in France for the third year in a row, he immediately leaves for his castle on the continent, Bellenac, instructing his wife Catherine (Deborah Kerr) to stay behind with their children. However, Catherine's curiosity gets the better of her and she arrives at Bellenac to discover that the villagers who tend the grapes and watch the castle are members of a pagan cult, and that they believe the death of Marquis may be required for the future health of the crops. While pre-release editing left its narrative a bit fragmented, Eye of the Devil is certainly notable for its cast, which includes Donald Pleasance, Edward Mulhare, David Hemmings, and Sharon Tate. Kim Novak was originally cast as Catherine, but was forced to bow out midway through shooting due to an injury. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Enemy agents Sava (Edward Mulhare), Karn (Diana Hyland) and Veltran (David Frankham) pool their efforts to kidnap prominent European statesman Anton Dieter (Anton Dieter). Their plan is to exchange Dieter for a Communist agent currently in Federal custody. Inspector Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) must locate the kidnappers in order to avert an embarrassing international incident and to plug up a potentially dangerous breach in national security. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

James Coburn stars as super-spy Derek Flint in this action comedy which takes the tongue-in-cheek wit of the James Bond series and shifts it into high gear. Flint is an ultra-sophisticated operative of international intelligence agency Z.O.W.I.E. He's a master of martial arts, electronic gadgetry (his cigarette lighter can perform 83 special functions), languages both human and animal (he can communicate with dolphins in a pinch), and even gives ballet lessons to the dancers of the Bolshoi. So when his fellow agents begin dropping like flies, Z.O.W.I.E. assigns Flint the task of finding out who the killers happen to be. Eventually, Flint discovers that the killings are all part of the wicked machinations of G.A.L.A.X.Y., a cadre of world-wide villainy that plans to take over the world through weather control. Our Man Flint also stars Lee J. Cobb, Gila Golan, and Edward Mulhare. A sequel, In Like Flint, followed two years later, and in 1976, the character was revived for a TV movie, Our Man Flint: Dead on Target, with Ray Danton taking over the role of Derek Flint. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

In this episode of the well-wrought horror/sci-fi anthology, a hapless miner inadvertently gets involved in a scientific experiment and ends up evolving far beyond the rest of humankind. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

The fourth volume in a collection culled from the 1963-1965 science fiction anthology television series recounts the story of a mousy scientist whose latest creation--a harness for cosmic energy controlled by his mind--wreaks havoc because of his repressed emotions. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Movie Guide
