Adventures of the Queen is a 1975 American made-for-television drama film starring Robert Stack. It was made as a pilot for a potential TV series but screened as a stand-alone TV movie. [1]
Captain James Morgan and Dr. Peter Brooks on a cruise liner have to deal with various crises, including a hidden bomb, a suicide attempt and J. L. Dundeen, a millionaire.
It was the first of three movies Irwin Allen did for TV in the wake of the success of The Towering Inferno , the others being The Swiss Family Robinson and Time Travelers . Each was made through 20th Century Fox for $1 million but was done for different networks. They were all done as pilots for potential TV series. [1]
"I missed television," said Allen. "There's a hysteria and an excitement in television that exists nowhere else in business." [1] Allen called the film "Son of Poseidon Adventure ." [1] It was mostly shot on the Queen Mary in Long Beach. [2]
