Please allow me also to stray slightly off topic, but in praise of the great Richard Baseheart...TIME LIMIT is a brilliant film and was a topical and important film of it's time...as you mention, also based on a Broadway success...a very strong cast, and possibly Richard Baseheart's finest role...he's brilliant in this as the self sacrificing, tortured soul to whom honour is everything...a memorable performance that really knocks it out of the park...Rip Torn also turns in a brilliant performance...Mark Collins said:Sorry to be a bit off topic here. I just wanted to state I watched last night a great Basehart movie I ordered from Amazon last week. Time Limit. He was outstanding in the role based on a play. I also liked the Twilight Zone episode and the two part Combat role. I have Cry Wolf which you can also buy but I recorded it off TCM. He has a small role in that film.
I envy Glen having Canyon Crossroads.
Voyage has had it's detractors before and always will but I have found since airing on METV the popularity of the show seems to have increased from it's syndication days on local stations. The show has found a new generation of viewers.
The thoughts expressed against the show and Irwin Allen were uncalled for. I thank my good friend Harry for stepping up to the plate and speaking for us all.

I recently watched the new Kino blu release KINGS OF THE SUN...any number of actors could easily perish in ridicule for having to deliver their lines wearing those Hollywood faux Mayan headdresses...but when the actor doing it is of the caliber of Richard Baseheart, you buy into it...he's forever noble in his bearing and delivery...it helps that the film is an entertaining epic...
I personally only have the first two seasons of Voyage, and I'm happy to leave it there...but that's just me...
Among the many tv series I have on dvd, Richard Baseheart is always a favourite guest star...
