One Dress a Day Challenge
July: Green Redux (+ Blue Redux)
Mission: Impossible (s2e18, "The Emerald") / Barbara Bain as Cinnamon Carter
Appropriately for an episode about an emerald, Cinnamon wears a brilliant green dress to lure a target into a high-stakes poker game. Although this episode aired during the 1967-68 season, the dress has some interesting features that look forward to the 1970s. It is long and narrow, gathered at the neck, with double shoulder straps and a slit up the side. A long, sheer, patterned panel of cloth hangs from the back like a cape.
With the dress, she wears matching pumps and hair ribbon, but no jewelry. She starts the evening (briefly) with a diamond bracelet, but she quickly manages to lose that in the poker game--all part of the plan, of course.

Space: 1999 Stars Barbara Bain & Nick Tate Goes Board Documentary About Sci-Fi Show’s Legendary Spacecraft
Actress Barbara Bain, star of the British sci-fi series Space: 1999, is preparing to board an upcoming documentary about the Eagle, the famed spacecraft at the heart of the show that ran from 1975-1977.
Bain will appear in The Eagle Has Landed as will Nick Tate, her cast mate from Space: 1999. The documentary includes the participation of several other notable figures: Apollo XVI astronaut Charles Duke Jr., Academy Award-winning visual effects artist Bill George (Blade Runner, Star Trek), and Brian Johnson, the VFX artist on Space: 1999 whose work is said to have influenced Star Wars. The film is being directed and produced by Jeffrey Morris, who also hosts the documentary.
The Eagle Has Landed “explores the cross-generational impact of the iconic vessel” in the series that also starred Martin Landau. According to a press release, the film “showcases never-before-seen archival footage” and will be released in time for the 50th anniversary of Space: 1999’s debut, in 2025.
“Space: 1999 appeared on TV a few short years after the world watched Neil Armstrong take the first steps on the moon,” Morris noted in a statement. “The show’s unforgettable Eagle inspired a generation to envision a future in space and is still doing so decades later. The question we explore is ‘why?’ What is it about this imaginary craft that has captured and held imaginations for nearly 50 years?
Morris’s FutureDude Entertainment is producing the documentary in partnership with Zero Point Zero Production Inc. Anne Marie Gillen is a producer on the project, along with Morris. The film is written by Morris and Fredrick Haugen. Morris is represented by Espada Entertainment.
Space: 1999 ran for a total of 48 episodes, with Bain and Landau in all of them as, respectively, Dr. Helena Russell and Commander John Koenig (the actors were married to each other at the time; they had previously co-starred together in Mission: Impossible).
The show revolved around the denizens of Moonbase Alpha, scientific researchers living on the moon whose existence was threatened by a nuclear explosion, which rocketed the moon out of Earth’s orbit. Tate, an Australian-born actor, played pilot Alan Carter on 42 of the show’s 48 episodes. Originally, his character was to be killed off in the premiere episode, a casualty of the nuclear explosion, but producers Gerry Anderson and Sylvia Anderson liked his work and expanded his role.
“Hovering above the Moon in one of Alpha’s Eagle spacecraft, Alan Carter is an observer to this holocaust, watching helplessly as the Moon spins out into space,” according to a synopsis published by the Catacombs.Space1999.net website. “Sacrificing his only chance to return home, Carter decides to give chase to the runaway Moon, joining his friends on the endless intergalactic journey.”
Tate told the website, “I didn’t have to dig too deeply with this character. Alan Carter was all the things I was as a young man: friendly, happy-go-lucky, someone who loved adventure and accepted a challenge.”
Ian McShane, Joan Collins, and Leo McKern were among actors who appeared in single episodes of Space: 1999.

Más para la colección series vintage , hoy es el turno de una serie británica llamada 𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟵 (𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟱), más conocida en Latinoamérica y en especial en Argentina como 𝗖𝗢𝗦𝗠𝗢𝗦 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟵.Una serie de ciencia ficción y que con el correr de los años se ha transformado en una serie de culto en su género y que se ha trasmitido en casi 100 países. Fué la serie más cara producida en la televisión británica hasta ese momento (1975).
Para esa época (año 1999), el hombre ya había colonizado la 𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗔, los residuos nucleares de la 𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗔 eran llevados al satélite y se guardaban en el lado oculto de la Luna.Durante varios años fueron llevados desde la 𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗔 en misiones espaciales y controlados desde una base lunar, llamada 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗳𝗮, pero ocurre un accidente y estallan en un catastrófica explosión el 13 de septiembre de 1999.
La tremenda explosión afecta el campo electromagnético de la 𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗔 y saca al satélite fuera de la órbita de la 𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗔, con 311 personas en sus bases. Consecuentemente la Luna viaja a toda velocidad y sin control por el espacio exterior y fuera del sistema solar.
La 𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗔 se transforma así en una especie de nave espacial gigante y viaja sin rumbo a través de la galaxia y que a lo largo de las dos temporadas (1975/1977) y 48 capítulos, se vivirán diferentes peripecias, encuentros con otras culturas y formas de vida en el universo, peligros, aventuras y problemas que se deben afrontar, hasta que deba ser abandonada en pos de perpetuar la raza humana en otro planeta.
La primera temporada tuvo más éxito que la segunda, pero no cumplió su objetivo de venderse a ninguna de las grande cadenas estadounidenses, por lo que tuvo que conformarse con cadenas secundarias.Con ese fin para la segunda temporada hubo cambios importantes en la producción.
Los nuevos productores impusieron una concepción ajena o diferente al espíritu de la primera.Desaparecieron personajes sin una explicación lógica y según uno de los actores protagonistas, no había ningún respeto por los actores, sus papeles y su contribución al show. 𝗟𝗮 𝗥𝗔𝗜 que había participado de la primera temporada como productora, se bajó en la segunda; por lo cual el presupuesto para cada episodio bajo considerablemente.Esta situación hizo eco en la continuidad y el rating bajo considerablemente ya que el público especializado prefirió más la primera temporada donde los guiones eran más profundos y filosóficos a diferencia de la segunda que se centró más en lo espectacular y los efectos especiales.
Los protagonistas de esta muy buena serie eran 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗡 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗨 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗼 𝗲𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗞𝗼𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗴, 𝗕𝗔𝗥𝗕𝗔𝗥𝗔 𝗕𝗔𝗜𝗡 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗼 𝗹𝗮 𝗗𝗿𝗮. 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹, 𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗞 𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗼 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 (𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁𝗼), 𝗭𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗔 𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗢𝗡 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘆 𝗕𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗬 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗦𝗘 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗼 𝗲𝗹 𝗗𝗿. 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗺𝗮𝗻 (gran pérdida para la segunda temporada).Mi puntuación para esta muy buena serie es de 8/10.
