The QUESTOR TAPES

The QUESTOR TAPES
   Made-for-tv film (1974). Universal/NBC. Dir Richard A. Colla, starring Robert Foxworth (as Questor), Mike Farrell, John Vernon. Teleplay Gene RODDENBERRY, Gene L. Coon. 100 mins. Colour.
   This was the rather good pilot episode for a tv series that never sold. Questor, the last of a series of ANDROID guardians deposited on Earth eons ago by a beneficent ALIEN race,has been faultily programmed, and the story involves his search for information that will explain his origin and mission. Little is resolved, since the film was designed as an introduction only. The novelization is The Questor Tapes * (1974) by D.C. FONTANA.
