Tony Curtis and Roger Moore give spectacular performances in what is perhaps one of the best TV Series ever. The premise of the show, the acting, the chemistry are amazing. Lucky for us, the DVD release has afforded us the chance to marvel again. And we are not disappointed. The show's superior wit, acting and ambiance stand above the crowd. A synergistic mix of great writing, Curtis' witty ad-libbing, Roger Moore's excellent acting add up to a sum greater than it's parts. The sometimes convivial, sometimes needling, bantering and quipping between Moore and Curtis give the show the real flavor of an off-the-cuff, unrehearsed performance. The show has a real energy and flow that keeps us wanting more. It also works marvelously due to the fact that both Moore and Curtis were allowed to let some of their real personalities shine through -- they were cast perfectly and they weren't laboring to be something they were not.
