I remember this movie and thought it was good. It seems like I saw it years later and it was rather dry.
It stood out to me most as we would sing the Groucho Marx song here and that the very Marx Bros movie the song is from also aired in primetime around that time, as a special or something.
Very surprised to see it was Victoria Principal in the agent-posing-as-a-contestant role as she seemed very good, but again, it's been a long time since I've seen this now.
The whole setup, from Marcia Lewis' stagemother to Sheree North's hijacker was quite a rounded up situation, then the deadly virus as well.
Throw in Phil Silvers as the emcee and Stella Stevens as an unlikely beauty contestant (While still beautiful, she was over forty, wasn't she?) It seemed fun but almost TV episode drama-like. I wouldn't mind seeing it again.
