Swiss Family Robinson (1975–1976)
10/10
Swiss Family Robinson (Jean Lafitte) with Frank Langella & Maria Grimm Heated up Family Show
3 February 2009
Warning: Spoilers
I saw all the Swiss Family Robinson episodes and liked them fine, but the fire wasn't lit in my belly till the two part episodes with Frank Langella as the Swashbuckling and exciting Pirate Jean Lafitte made a two part pilot appearance opposite a sweet and fresh faced but adorably feisty young actress, Maria Grimm as his co-star. It was an unlikely pairing with her petite 5'3" fantastic figure & baby face with sultry lips and zapping French piquancy and flashing eyes and Langella's Swarthy good looks and secret smile for his concubine Marie Carre just elevated this too 'sweet' series to a sassier, much more exciting adventure. Cameron was a dream and great, as was Neville Brand whose World War II adventures should be memorialized.
