Jeremy Brett, who in a few years would become the consummate Sherlock Holmes, here plays a bad guy after a car Jonathan (Robert Wagner) buys in London for his wife.
Some interesting insights into the 1970s. Mrs. Hart, a writer, sticks a small slip of correction tape in her typewriter. I used those nasty things myself. They were drier, however, and less messy than Liquid Paper. They also mention "gas lines." Under liberal Republican Nixon and Democrat Carter domestic production of oil and gas was low and OPEC had the US in a hammerlock, lowering supply. Where use was particularly high, as in California ("LA is a great big freeway"), supplies were so low and prices so (comparatively) high drivers had to fill up on an even/odd system. When domestic production is low prices go up and the US is reliant on other countries.
So much for the 1970s. Bad clothes, bad music, bad hair and I was in high school. Too bad.
Jonathan buys a car Brett & Co. Badly want. Why?
It includes a car chase at 25 mph. I know, we saw the same sort of thing earlier on "Charlie's Angels" and later on "Remington Steele." But in this case they keep us guessing until the last few minutes about what it is, and when it comes, it's worth it.
Good performance by Brett. Enjoyable episode especially for anyone with an appreciation for vintage vehicles.
