QUARANTINED
1970
74 min.
John Dehner, Gary Collins, Sharon Farrell, Wally Cox, Sam Jaffe, Susan Howard, Dan Ferrone. Directed by Leo Penn.
The daily tribulations of a famous country clinic run by the Bedford family, complicated by problems of a rebellious
son, an uncooperative movie star, and a cholera epidemic. Fast-paced, convincing situations, decent dialogue. Above
average.
QUARTERBACK PRINCESS
1983
100 min.
Helen Hunt, Don Murray, Barbara Babcock, Dana Eclar, John Stockwell. Directed by Noel Black.
A high school girl goes out for the varsity football team and becomes one of "the boys" -- as well as the homecoming
queen. Based on the real-life story of Tami Maida but pedestrian in its telling. Average.
QUEEN OF THE STARDUST BALLROOM
1975
100 min.
Maureen Stapleton, Charles Durning, Michael Brandon, Michael Strong, Charlotte Rae. Directed by Sam O'Steen.
A beautifully realized love story between a widowed grandmother and a married mailman who meet at a local dance hall. A
filmed song of joy by Jerome Koss, with sensitive performances by the two leads. Above average.
THE QUEST
1976
100 min.
Tim Matheson, Kurt Russell, Brian Keith, Keenan Wynn, Will Hutchins, Cameron Mitchell, Neville Brand, Morgan Woodward,
Art Lund. Directed by Lee H. Katzin.
Two brothers search the Old West for their sister, captured years earlier by Indians. Evokes memories of John Ford's
THE SEARCHERS but worth seeing for the colorful performances of veteran actors Keith, Wynn and Mitchell, and for
refreshing touches like a horse-camel race. Script by Tracy Keenan Wynn. Later evolved into a series. Average.
A QUESTION OF GUILT
1978
100 min.
Tuesday Weld, Ron Leibman, Peter Masterson, Alex Rocco, Viveca Lindfors, Lana Wood. Directed by Robert Butler.
A flashy, fun-loving divorcee is accused of murdering her child in this drama obviously inspired by the headline-making
Alice Crimmins case in N.Y.C. Leibman's character is named Martin Kazinsky, but this has no relation to his later KAZ
series. Average.
A QUESTION OF HONOR
1982
150 min.
Ben Gazzara, Paul Sorvino, Robert Vaughn, Tony Roberts, Anthony Zerbe. Directed by Jud Taylor.
TV's answer to PRINCE OF THE CITY, with Gazzara as an honest cop caught in a trap set by ruthless fed Vaughn. Budd
Schulberg wrote the script from Sonny Grosso and Philip Rosenberg's book, POINT BLANK. Average.
THE QUESTOR TAPES
1974
100 min.
Robert Foxworth, Mike Farrell, John Vernon, Lew Ayres, James Shigeta, Robert Douglas, Dana Wynter. Directed by Richard
A. Colla.
A busted Gene Roddenberry pilot about a sophisticated android (Foxworth) looking for his identity, using his
computerized brain to locate his missing creator. Despite the twist of having a robot as the lead, only a mild
diversion. Average.
THE QUINNS
1977
78 min.
Barry Bostwick, Blair Brown, Susan Browning, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Peter Masterson, Virginia Vestoff. Directed by
Daniel Petrie.
Soap opera by Sidney Carroll focusing on three generations of Irish-American New York City firefighters. Average.
