Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn this episode, Rockford reveals why he keeps his gun buried up to its hammer in a coffee pot: "Freeze dried coffee. It soaks up the moisture. Keeps it from rusting in the ocean climate." (In most episodes, however, he keeps it in the cookie jar).
- GoofsThe European license plates on the cars in the opening sequence are very clearly plastered over American-style plate holders, indicating it was filmed in the United States with domestic versions of the automobiles.
- Quotes
Jim Rockford: This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
Audra: It's Audra. Remember last summer at Pat's? I've got a twelve-hour layover before I go to Chicago. How about it?
Featured review
nice payoff
I'm usually not a huge fan of the early seasons of this great series, but this is one of those few early episodes that I really enjoyed, plus there were several familiar faces to make it work. Look for Suzanne Somers(only a cameo), Jill Clayburgh, Bruce Kirby, Fred Beir, and Nedra Deen, who passed away only a year later. I thought Marilyn(Clayburgh)and Rockford were cute together, and had decent chemistry, but this was her only episode. Rockford has been hired by Nancy Fraser(Deen)to investigate whether her lover was killed by his own wife, played by Somers; you don't hear that one every day. What it all boils down to is an insurance scam, but that's all I'll tell you. There's a few things that stood out to me, and they included Rockford's heated conversations with a top insurance executive, several nice outdoor shots of sunny California, and an especially great scene with Rocky outside the trailer, near the beach, as he's cooking for his son. His dad also tells him the unexpected surprise that was left for Jim, although Rocky thinks it's junk.
