Foreword
Alvin Marill has had one of the longest relationships in media history. He has remained faithful to his object of affection, the television movie, from the very beginning starting in 1964. He has stayed true to the TV movie during the glory and lean years, loyally documenting every facet of change and development. I am sure sometimes Al must have questioned his absolute devotion, but his love has never diminished. And we, television scholars, are much richer for his not-so-secret obsession. I can think of no television historian who has charted a genre as assiduously as Al has. For every single TV movie, he has given us meticulous information, an accurate listing of the talent responsible for that production. Al is extremely diligent in making sure that this data is perfect in every way; a misspelling is a tragedy in the Marill universe. He not only records every movie, but also gathers any and all press information. Every entry in Al’s book is a thoughtful sifting through of all the evidence at hand to determine actual and reliable credit. Television movies are very different than series television; every production is unique, a gathering of talent that, except for an occasional sequel, will never be repeated. Al’s series of reference books, from the late 1970s onward, has been the official record for approximately 5,900 movies . . . and counting. Not only does Al provide an exhaustive mountain of information, but he also encapsulates the plot and impact of every movie in a few chosen and pungent sentences. I have relied on the truthfulness of his impeccable judgment many times over the years as I curate exhibitions at the Paley Center for Media on the television movie and its creators. His indexes of actors, writers, and directors have also proven invaluable, documenting how many of Hollywood’s talent pool have contributed to the growth of the TV movie. In his remarkable series of research books you feel as if you have the entire history of the telefilm in your hands. Al was at the forefront of television scholarship. His first volume signaled to professors and critics everywhere that the television movie and miniseries was worthy of serious study. Since that pioneering first volume, he has continued his Herculean labors for more than a quarter of a century. Because of Al’s ongoing commitment, the television movie has been thoroughly documented, like no other genre. The television movie used to be the gold standard of the industry, the forum where Americans examined their history and most pressing issues of the day. It is impossible to think seriously about American popular culture without referencing Brian’s Song, That Certain Summer, Roots, and Holocaust. Other notable events in the world of TV movies through the years, chronicled meticulously in Al’s compendiums, have been adaptations—great, good, and middling—of the works of Hemingway, Steinbeck, Faulkner, and Fitzgerald; of Shakespeare, Dickens, Tolstoy, and Dostoyevski; of Robert Ludlum (The Bourne Identity, years before Matt Damon tackled it), Michael Crichton, Anne Rice, Frederick Forsyth, and Mary Higgins Clark; of Broadway’s Gypsy, Bye, Bye Birdie, The Heidi Chronicles, and Angels in America. Over the last two decades the TV movie has not achieved such a prominence in our national life, but efforts like John Adams and Recount remind us there is a lot of creative life in the form yet. But no matter whether the genre is in a peak or valley, Al’s scholarly skills remain at a very high level. His painstaking research helps us make the final historical determination of the TV movie’s place in the overall media universe. Anyone interested in the significance of television in American society will forever be grateful to the groundbreaking efforts of Al Marill.

Acknowledgments
As usual a reference compendium of this sort requires valued assistance from various sources. I’d like to acknowledge those who helped make the whole shebang possible. They include Jani Klain and Ron Simon of the Paley Center for Media, Jon Young of HBO, and TV historian Vincent Terrace, along with Deanne Comer, Judy Marill (my sister), Steve Marill (my son), computer guru Matthew Ford, and the press departments of the assorted TV and cable networks. Also my editor Stephen Ryan. To them, and one or two others I might have overlooked, a doff of the old chapeau.

Introduction
In the aughts of the current millennium, in the world of movies made for television, several significant concerns in the medium—beginning with Survivor and The Amazing Race and Big Brother to American Idol and Dancing with the Stars, to say nothing of the Hollywood writers’ strike of 2006–2007—changed the programming landscape. So too the widely heralded Jay-Leno-five-nights-a week in primetime experiment. Fewer and fewer scripted shows were being aired on the networks. And that impacted dramas and comedies, mysteries and biopics. NBC and ABC, where memorable TV movie/miniseries like Roots, Holocaust, Sybil, Brian’s Song, The Winds of War, and War and Remembrance, and many of the dramatized sagas of the Kennedys were produced, virtually stopped making the mainstays of the genre. Then, with a couple of exceptions—like the Hallmark Hall of Fames that continue to air around the card-giving holidays—CBS ceased scheduling them. Cable television now maintains the “tradition” basically on Lifetime and the Hallmark Channel, with the perennially popular women’s drama with strong female leads on the former and basically feel-good, happy-ending family and faith-based dramas and lighthearted fare on the latter. ABC Family, the Disney Channel, and AMC, even ESPN, occasionally offered original made-for-television movies, and often get their production costs back by nearly rerunning them to death. Airing were biopics such as the ones in which the mature likes of Shirley MacLaine plays Coco Chanel months before Before Coco, Diane Keaton does her Amelia Earhart portrayal before Hilary Swank does hers, Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore serve up Big and Little Edie Beale straight—for example, without Broadway musical numbers, Cybill Shepherd as Martha Stewart (twice), Joan Allen as legendary American artist Georgia O’Keeffe, Susan Sarandon as tobacco heiress Doris Duke. Also British veteran Brendan Gleason in an Emmy-winning starring role is Winston Churchill, Paul Giamatti is founding father Benjamin Franklin, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, another Brit, is the king in another Elvis biography (before impersonating a real Tudor king), James Brolin is Ronald Reagan several years before son Josh Brolin becomes George W. Bush on the little-seen theatrical production, Kevin Spacey is Ron Klain, one of the pivotal figures in the Bush-Gore election race, and John Turturro as the Bronx Bombers’ volatile general manager Billy Martin in the ’77 Yankees pennant race. Real-life dramatizations included a couple on Pope John Paul II and one each on runner Roger Bannister, conquering the then-elusive four-minute mile, and a young John McCain during his POW years at the Hanoi Hilton during Vietnam. Also a dramatized reenactment on its fortieth anniversary of the flight of Apollo 11. Stage musicals like Reefer Madness, Legally Blonde, and Once Upon a Mattress were restaged for television. So were offBroadway plays that include the likes of Lackawanna Blues, Loving Leah, and The Exonerated as television movies. Stalwart Tom Selleck continues in the aughts with a handful of dissolute small-town cop Jesse Stone’s mystery adventures of the late author Robert B. Parker, similar to Peter Falk’s Columbo franchise of the previous decade or two. Empire Falls, from the book by Richard Russo, brought together again Paul Newman (in his final role) and Joanne Woodward. Kenny Ortega’s super-popular High School Musical and sequels and Camp Rock are among the basic Disney things carefully crafted to capture the “tween” audience of attractive—and talented—adolescents, the Shia LeBoufs and Miley Cyruses and Hilary and Haylie Duffs of the youth-oriented entertainment world. There were dramatizations of four of Nora Roberts’ female-oriented best sellers on consecutive weeks and again a year or so later, and of several of Ann Rule’s popular true-crime novels. ix

Introduction
At least three major Western dramas of quality aired: Emmy-winning Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church’s Broken Trail, that was the first original produced for AMC; Larry McMurtry’s Comanche Moon, the last (or actually second) of his Lonesome Dove series, and significantly the first sagebrush drama on television in the twenty-first century (other, of course, than the HBO’s Deadwood series), executive producers Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks’ sprawling Into the West. It related the saga of the frontier period through the very different views of the white settlers and the Native Americans—its massive cast had significant roles for virtually every Indian actor of the Screen Actors Guild roster in the United States and Canada before resorting to painting red faces on Caucasian performers. Producers Robert Halmi, senior and junior, offered up special effects–laden reimaginizations of such classic adventures as Journey to the Center of the Earth and Mysterious Island from Jules Verne and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as well as Marco Polo, Hercules, Tin Man, taken from The Wizard of Oz, and Alice, a sci-fi modernization of Alice in Wonderland. And from the Bible—and the Halmis—there was The Ten Commandments, filmed on (hardly biblical) location in Hungary as well as Morocco and Tunisia, with Scottish actor Dougray Scott as Moses along with screen veterans Omar Sharif and Claire Bloom. (Scott also had the leading roles in the newest Jekyll and Hyde movie.) Surprisingly there were just two TV movies in the most recent five years dealing with the defining events of 9/11 (there also had been one in 2003). Factor that in with the spectacle of three movies a decade earlier dealing with Amy Fisher and Joey Buttafucco, in just a single week, and the above-mentioned two on homemaking queen Martha Stewart’s travails. Television was becoming more graphic, more explicit, especially on cable, and many critics predicted that basic TV itself would move toward this envelope-pushing development in the second decade of the new millennium. Look, for instance, at the extremely violent—and nudity-laced—Spartacus series that was made in and premiered in New Zealand and aired on American cable TV in 2010. This Spartacus was an indirect descendant (expansion?) of the 2004 television remake of Howard Fast’s epic gladiator novel—with no credit here to Fast—which decades before had been turned by Stanley Kubrick into the stellar pseudo-historic classic starring Kirk Douglas. This latest volume chronicling movies made for television covers all titles of the films shown between 2005 and 2009, except, as before, for fare produced for foreign television and later airing in the United States (as on PBS’s Masterpiece, Mystery, and/or Great Performances). Another exception: those films that were made initially for theatrical distribution but instead turned as direct-to-video movies that aired in syndication. This volume also includes comprehensive actors and directors indexes, a chronological listing of the made-for-television films, and, where applicable, a complete list of sources (novels, plays, musicals) for the various films.

5560 Coco Chanel (Lifetime, 9/13/2008, 180 minutes). Shirley MacLaine was Emmy nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Movie or Miniseries for her portrayal of the older Coco Chanel (in the mid-1950s) with the couturier making a comeback after 15 years out of the spotlight. The biopic, however, has Barbora Bobulova sewing up far more screen time as the younger pre–World War I Coco. Variety’s critic said, amusingly, “Coco Chanel has far less to do with haute couture than high melodrama, recounting a life story so insanely frothy and pulpy that these who don’t cry will be laughing their eyelashes off.” Earlier, Coco had been played in a stage musical with Katharine Hepburn, and about a year after this version of Coco’s life, there was a theatrical feature starring Audrey Tautou.

In the dead of night, an intruder breaks into the mansion of the governor and blows him away with a shotgun blast. The governor’s wife—grieving of course— finds that the tragedy has reignited the public’s interest in the family skeletons and her brittle distrust of her handsome stepson’s manipulative ex-fiancée. The resilient spouse comes to fear that whoever killed her husband will return to finish her off as well. This was filmed under the title “Deadly Suspicion,” but the producers found fortuitously a scandal involving the disgraced governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, although the plot and outcome were entirely different—no murder—the title as the film aired might spice things up with the audience.

German actors Thomas Kretschmann and Bruno Ganz played the Pope and his mentor, Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, respectively, at the head of a cast of actors relatively unfamiliar in the U.S., although veteran American director Jeff Bleckner was at the helm. The previous docudrama about the Pope was Polish made, and shown in the U.S. some weeks earlier on the Hallmark Channel as a theatrical acquisition; the next (and competing) one initially aired only a few nights after this production.

Effects-laden retelling of the Hercules myth spun out humorlessly and ploddingly, in the words of the Hollywood Reporter, “like a live-action cartoon minus the selfdeprecation, a soap opera replete with multiheaded monsters and a gratuitous amount of blood.” Filmed epic-style in New Zealand by Robert Halmi pere et fils, the producers behind Gulliver’s Travels, The Odyssey, Merlin, and countless others. This was scheduled as a two-part four-hour film but was then slashed to a single-part three-hour movie just before its premiere. Not well–known Paul Telfer had the title role, with Timothy Dalton, the onetime James Bond, as his dad.

Disney’s loose musical take on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet featuring a high school jock (Zac Efron) and a science nerd (Vanessa Anne Hudgens) as mismatched, star-crossed lovers, made on a Utah soundstage, emerged as a surprise hit. In fact it was, according to its producers, the biggest hit the Disney Channel ever had (to that point). It became a smash DVD with a soundtrack of original numbers that became Billboard’s best-selling chart album of 2006. The music score is by David Lawrence, son of Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme.

Uncompromising two-part thriller dealing with the international trafficking of women and children for sex, and the battle to rescue its victims enslaved in America.

Drama about the notorious serial killer, Dennis Rader, who after three decades and ten unsolved murders (between 1974 and 1991) in the Wichita, Kansas area was finally found in early 2005, arrested, and convicted in August. This seemingly rushed movie that aired only a few weeks after his trial forced the producers to quickly revise the original ending about the man who branded himself with the initials B.T.K (for bind, torture, and kill, which he did to his victims).

Real-life marrieds Josie Bissett and Rob Estes star as a pair of single parents with eight kids between them who decide to tie the knot and have the challenge of bringing together their warring kids who don’t get along. The contemporary comedy is not too dissimilar from the Doris Day/Brian Keith movie With Six You Get Eggroll or the Lucille Ball/Henry Fonda flick Yours, Mine and Ours (both 1968). Then of course there were The Brady Bunch and the Barbara Eden/Don Murray series A Brand New Life (1989), the director of which, Steve Robman, also directed this 2005 film, originally titled “Blended.” Production Company Chanticleer Films.

Improbable, campy, even goofy, this disaster thriller that aired in two parts dealt with the aftermath of the most spectacular meteor shower in eons that results in a direct hit on the moon, leaving it on a collision course with Earth, and predictably a small group of international astronauts, scientists, and soldiers (led by stalwart David James Elliott and voluptuous Natasha Henstridge) band together in a race against time to save humanity. This should not be confused with Meteor, which had a similar plot and aired initially two weeks later.

An ambitious six-part 12-hour Steven Spielberg production, this star-studded historical fiction spans the Western terrain from the Indian massacres to the building of the transcontinental railroad to the battles of the Little Big Horn and Wounded Knee. It basically tells the story from two sides: the white settlers and the Indians. It won Emmy nominations for Best Miniseries, plus 15 other categories. The first episode, “Wheel to the Stars,” begins in 1827 and follows the marriage of a settler named Jacob Wheeler, the son of a wheelright looking for adventure out West, to a Lakotan, Thunder Heart Woman, and includes a deadly buffalo stampede that is survived by her brother, a tribesman named, what else? Loved by the Buffalo. The series, as the network press material notes, “uses the wheel [for the Wheeler clan] as a symbol for how the times and fates are turning and the white man is forcing the red man off the land that once belonged to him.” Production Company DreamWorks Television.

Lavish seven-part adaptation of David McCullough’s historical biography of the founding father who long has been thought the least known and understood of our early presidents. In the title role, Paul Giamatti was either terrific or terrifically miscast, according to the critics, who were unstinting in their admiration of the production, shot primarily is such disparate locales as Williamsburg, Virginia, and Budapest, Hungary. The film was divided into parts entitled “Join or Die,” “Independence,” “Don’t Tread on Me,” “Revolution,” “Unite or Die,” “Unnecessary War,” and “Peacefield,” each running initially at least once in successive weeks. John Adams won a previously unheralded 13 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Miniseries, Best Actor (Giamatti), Actress (Linney), Supporting Actor (Tom Wilkinson), writing, cinematography, costumes, and visual effects.

Fact-based crime-tinged story of the club promoter—and, by extension, the mob—who reinvented Miami’s South Beach as a nightlife Mecca. “Essentially shot like an extended music video,” as Variety’s critic noted, it relates how promoter Chris Troiano and a New York buddy named Andy Burnett (Jason Gedrick and Donnie Wahlberg) glammed up the area and, as the story pointed out, lured the Madonnas and Versaces and Kate Mosses to the South Beach area. The film was written and produced by Nicholas Pileggi, Scorsese’s writing chum from GoodFellas and Casino, and had cop-turned-producer Sonny Grosso as one of the execs. Ironically, it apparently couldn’t get a license to film in Miami, so Puerto Rico was chosen as the locale. Production Companies Grosso-Jacobson Productions, Sony Pictures Television.

Well-received drama focusing on the discovery of sexually abusive priests over the past five decades in the Boston Diocese, focusing primarily on Cardinal Bernard Law and how he professed to be unaware of the problem, moving troubled priests around. Law ultimately was recalled by the Vatican and “kicked upstairs” during Pope John Paul II’s last years—and was part of the conclave that chose his successor in spring 2005. Christopher Plummer, playing Law, and Brian Dennehy as one of his pedophile priests, Father Dominic Spagnolia, each received an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

5789 Pope John Paul II (CBS, 12/4/2005 and 12/7/2005, 2 Parts, 120 minutes each, 4 hours). This drama, the third to premiere in a short time span, follows Karol Wojtyla from his youth in Poland through his later days on the Chair of St. Peter, and explores the 264th Pope’s fascinating life behind the scenes. Karol is played by Cary Elwes from ages 18 to 58 and then, as Pope, by Jon Voight (adding to his gallery of real-life figures that include Howard Cosell, Noah, and FDR).

This three-hour disaster thriller (originally scheduled as a four-hour two-parter) is less a remake of the stellar 1972 big-screen movie than an updated version of Paul Gallico’s earlier (1969) novel on which it was based. The luxury liner which was capsized by a giant wave during a New Year’s Eve cruise in the Irwin Allen movie here is toppled by a terrorist’s bomb. This version, filmed in Cape Town, South Africa, was rushed out to cash in on the publicity surrounding a big-screen remake by Wolfgang Petersen—which ended up being pushed into the New Year. In the TV movie, actor Peter Weller plays the ship’s captain, named Paul Gallico (an homage to the tale’s author?). The director is sometimes actor John Putch, who is the son of Jean Stapleton.

5887 XIII (NBC, 2/8/2009 and 2/15/2009, 2 Parts, 120 minutes each, 4 hrs). Two-part, high-stakes cat-andmouse thriller that begins with the first female U.S. president being shot dead by a sniper during her Veterans Day speech. And then a wounded man is found tattered in the forest with no memory of his identity. The tattoo on his neck indicates that he might be the assassin—but not if it’s Val Kilmer, the film’s nominal star who still has several hours of TV airtime before the denouement. Thus the race to find the gunman continues, in this Bourne Identity–type thriller adapted from the graphic novels by Jean Van Hamme and William Vance, a co-production of Canada and France.
