Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRockford mentions that Ted Haller works at the 'Upstairs Gallery.' The Upstairs Gallery was an actual art gallery located in Northridge, California.
- GoofsIn the opening scene, Barrows, an Englishman buying a ticket from the English airline agent at London Heathrow Airport asks for a "round trip" ticket. Obviously the scene wasn't really shot at Heathrow but the English don't use the term "round trip." He would ask for a "return" booking. Possibly the dialogue wasn't accurate so as not to confuse American audiences, but that was likely not a big risk.
- Quotes
Jim Rockford: This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
Sally: Jim, Sally. Hey, I just found out you're an Aries. Listen, if you have Virgo rising, give me a call...

Featured review
Feeding Flamingo
A guy who skipped out on paying Jim Rockford's bill is hardly a good recommendation for another man who wants to hire James Garner. But when William Daniels is willing to front half that $200.00 a day plus expenses you can't go wrong. Or can you?
Seems simple enough Garner is to go to an art gallery and bid on a sculpture of what looks like a feeding flamingo. But after a nice get together with Camilla Sparv who was at the auction and drove up the price, Rockford gets attacked in the parking lot and the bird busted in the struggle. A most valuable piece of sculpture lost.
Never mind there are two more says William Daniels and James Garner goes after them. Right around now Garner gets a call from Sgt. Dennis Becker for a heart to heart. There's a lot more involved than a loss to the art world.
Daniels is his exacting and dogmatic self in this role. Given some of the parts he played in I always wondered how Daniels got the chance to play Mr. Feeney, mentor to so many kids in Boy Meets World. Daniels does make it work though, here and in Boy Meets World.
Fans of William Daniels and James Garner should approve and Camilla Sparv is always nice to look at and also not what she appears in this Rockford Files story.
