Spectre (1977)

豆知識

Spectre is a 1977 American-British made-for-television horror film produced by Gene Roddenberry. It was co-written by Roddenberry and Samuel A. Peeples, and directed by Clive Donner. It was one of several unsuccessful pilots created by Roddenberry, and one of several pilots in the 1970s in the occult detective subgenre. The pilot follows the adventures of William Sebastian, a former criminologist and occult expert, and his colleague, Dr. Amos Hamilton, a physician and forensic pathologist, as they visit the United Kingdom to investigate a case involving the aristocratic Cyon family. The cast includes John Hurt, James Villiers, Gordon Jackson, Ann Bell, and Majel Barrett.

Production

Spectre was intended as the pilot for a television series, but was rejected. The relationship between William Sebastian (Robert Culp) and Dr. Amos "Ham" Hamilton (Gig Young) is deliberately reminiscent of that of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, although there are also some aspects that recall the relationship between Gene Roddenberry's own Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and Leonard McCoy (DeForrest Kelly) from Star Trek.

Spectre was one of a number of unsuccessful television pilots in the 1970s in the occult detective subgenre. After its rejection by American television, an extended version of Spectre was released in the UK as a theatrical film with additional footage that includes nudity.

John Cameron was selected as the composer for the film's musical score.
