John Saxon in Planet Earth (1974)
more info about this film @ IMDB
One thing I absolutely love about these old sci-fi films is the costume design for the male actors. The concept of a futuristic attire is often thin fabric, one piece, skin-tight suit. Just look at the screencaps above for the perfect example of what I attempt to describe. It is not difficult to see why I am also a big fan of the original Star Trek series. (Of course, I value other aspects from the series as well, I'm not that shallow.)
This film is actually a test pilot for a TV series proposed by the creator of the original Star Trek, so it too has the cheese factor I enjoy. But at the same time I can understand why it fail to take off: the characters are uninteresting, and worse of all, they all come across as weak imitation of the characters from Star Trek. That is not to say Mr. Saxon is not a handsome man; I would love to rub my hands over his green colored space suit!

I would love the file for this one!
