What's on TV? Wednesday, August 27, 1969




Tonight's ABC movie, Crack in the World, is a science fiction thriller about the dangers of science run amok. The plot, which sounds quite similar to the Doctor Who episode "Inferno," concerns scientists trying to untap unlimited energy by drilling deep into the earth's surface. Predictably, this doesn't go so well. (It didn't in "Inferno," either. So much for following the science, I guess.) Judith Crist likes it; "the performances are fine, the technical effects excellent and the conclusion rip-roaring in every sense of the words." Dana Andrews stars as the lead scientist, which can only give credibility to the movie. For more of what's on today, check out these listings from the Northern California edition.
