RESCUE
FROM GILLIGAN'S ISLAND Bob
Denver, Alan Hale Jr., Jim Bacus and the cast from the TV series in this
made for TV Special. Eleven years after the network cancellation of Gilligan's Island, the crew and passengers of the ill-fated S. S. Minnow returned to the small screen in Rescue from Gilligan's Island. The cast remains the same, with one significant change. Bob Denver plays inveterate bumbler Gilligan, Alan Hale is the long-suffering Skipper, Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer are the fabulously wealthy Mr. and Mrs. Thurston Howell III, Russell Johnson is the resourceful Professor, and Dawn Wells, as perky as ever, is Mary Ann. Tina Louise wanted no part of any Gilligan's Island reunion, so her role-perennial starlet Ginger Grant-is filled by Judith Baldwyn. The premise: a huge tidal wave transports the seven castaways back to civilization. While they're thrilled to be back in the real world, none of the seven are able to adjust to life outside the island....least of all Gilligan, who on top of all his other problems must contend with a pair of enemy agents
in search of a device Gilligan picked up on the island. While taking a sentimental plane journey over the island, the castaways are forced to crash-land, and the story comes full
circle. 1978 COLOR 100 Minutes.

not only saving Christmas, but changing their lives forever. The film is
enlivened with the warmth and sweetness of an unforgettable love story
between Terry Moore (of Mighty Joe Young) and Tom Drake (of Meet Me in
St. Louis). Rupert the Squirrel (created using George Pal's Academy
Award winning animation technique) will charm young and old alike. Jimmy
Durante shines when he sings Jingle Bells and other well-loved Christmas
carols in the evocative voice that made him one of America's recording
legends. 1950 B&W 87 minutes
