Does anyone remember this film? Came out in 1974.
I want your opinion of the costume worn in the film.It was intended to be a TV series but it didn't happen until two years later(but with a different actress!)
Can anyone here get use to seeing WW as a blonde?
Didn't this version of the character turn up in any DC titles?

I remember it. I was pretty young when I watched it, but old enough to know that CLC was a real babe. I just checked out the costume - I actually liked it.

Yes, the costume is a good one, but it is not Wonder Woman's. Probably why that was a failed pilot and the Lynda Carter one succeeded.
And the story from the CLC WW was pretty good from what I can remember. WW had to fight a renegade Amazon who had teamed up with the evil corporate guy.

A velour jumpsuit? Really? I mean, she was pretty and all, but still...

I saw it when it came out and I remember being so disappointed that this Wonder Woman was nothing like the comic book character. It was a good example of Hollywood marketing: Take a recognizable name and throw out everything else, and people will eat it up, right?
Wrong.
I have a still of Cathy Lee Crosby in the WW costume in an old issue of Amazing World of DC Comics. I agree that it was a good costume, and CLC looked great in it.
But it wasn't Wonder Woman.

What made you think of this, the picture of her as Saturn Girl on the "Superman: Secret Origin" cover?  Seriously, I think the only time the costume was ever used in the comics was in Phil Jimenez's homage page in one of his issues. It featured several TV costumes (like the biker helmet and the Wonder Wetsuit). I vaguely remember seeing it in reruns a few years later. And from what I remember reading about it, not only was she blond, she didn't have any real powers, right?

The late great Ricardo Montalban was the best thing about this movie.
Is that a moon?

the only time that i remember that wonder woman being in a dc comic was when she appeared on one of those new infinite earths in Infintie Crisis i believe it was issue 5. The same issue where we saw the reboot legion on earth 247 and Shraki finding them again.
