STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE

I must have lined up to watch Star Trek: The Motion Picture (STTMP) at the Capitol 1 Theatre in Winnipeg. I purchased the fotonovel in Abbotsford,BC,when I was staying with a buddy. I had a STTMP poster up on my bedroom wall in Winnipeg, MB. Persis Kahmbatta shaved her head for her role. In 1979 this was a big deal.


I dragged my poor father to see STTMP at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. The movie was just as slow as I remembered. With the extra footage(!) STTMP became a staple on Pay TV (or "FreeTV" as my buddy Kaz dubbed it — he had access to a scrambler).
