.....with Nicholas Hammond [ 'Sound of Music ]......
.....The series began as a backdoor pilot: a 90 Minute Movie known simply as Spider-Man which was broadcast on CBS TV network in September 1977, which was theatrically released internationally. In it, Peter Parker (as an intrepid university student) gains super powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider. He uses those powers to get a job at the Daily Bugle, and to stop a con man who is covertly using mind control for personal gain.
The pilot garnered a 17.8 rating with a 30 share - CBS' highest rating for the entire year.

I do. Compared to today's admittedly high standards for superhero movies, it is woefully bad.
