Watch Out, Steele, Here Comes Blitzman!

[aramis-112-804880 · 8/10 · 16 January 2023]

Hired to locate a missing artist, the Remington Steele agency has to contend with a rival P. I. named Blitzman climbing their tree.

Nice plot twists, including Steele and his associate Laura coming up with a perfectly sound theory (they don't reference it, but try "The Art of Love," Dick van Dyke, James Garner. Universal, 1965) that turns out to be premature.

Lots of humor among the murder and mayhem.

A superb bit of scoring. Henry Mancini did the theme but whoever penned the incidental music for this episode deserves kudos. I laughed out loud.

And Laura's "The Lovers" has to be seen to be believed.

Steele Among the Living

[Prismark10 · 5/10 · 5 February 2018]

Remington Steele gets to reference the classic film noir, Laura as the plot sees him and Laura Holt trying to find an artist who is supposedly been killed but might have faked it in order for her paintings to increase in value. However her body does turn up and her husband is the chief suspect.

Remington Steele gets to cross swords and wisecracks with a low rent shady private investigator Leo Blitzman. A mischievous performance from Phil Rubenstein. The finale is an homage to It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.
