Thank God It’s Friday (1978, Robert Klane)
5/27/22
the zoo disco |1978|
I couldn't settle for a movie but decided for a pilot of short lived series (pilot + four episodes) named The Quest from 1982 as well. Cast: Perry King - Dan Underwood Noah Berry Jr. - Arthur Henley Ray Vitte - Cody Johnson Karen Austin - Carrie Welby John Rhys-Davies - Sir Edward and many more
Story: The sovereign state of Glendorra has a problem. It seems that through an old agreement with France, unless there's a monarch, the country would revert to France. And the king has no heirs. So, they found four Americans who are descendants of one of the former rulers. So they are sent out on a "Quest" to show if they have the qualities necessary to be a ruler. It won't be easy cause they go forth with no idea what to do, and their information is given to them through poems which they find hard to transcribe. (from IMDB taken) I'd say Glendora reminded strongly of Monaco, because of this agreement with France mentioned and well, they were in Europe, obviously. Strangely enough, as Dan Underwood, Perry King could fly a helicopter - and of course ride a horse. Too bad I could only find the pilot on Youtube, I'd love to have seen more episodes. Or at least all of them. And as it was, the ladies were falling for Mr. Underwood.
This was Perry King’s contact to Stephen J. Cannell and with that led directly to Riptide two years later - with some facial changes. ;-)
Of course I had to watch Thank God it’s Friday on a Friday. Honestly I had zero expectations for this film and probably because of that, I actually kinda liked it! It’s no deep and meaningful story or anything but it’s a fun look at the disco scene. No harm done. Except to Jeff Goldblum’s car of course. It received the Oscar for Best Music-Original Song for ‘Last Dance’ by Paul Jabara (sung by Donna Summer).
