- Quotes
[Danny kneels in front of a hotel room door, trying to pick its lock]
Danny Wilde: Spencer Tracy once took a pipe cleaner - an ordinary pipe cleaner - and by inserting it into the lock, and moving it around in intricate positions - you know, I could be a gentleman cracksman with this -
[Brett, who went out a window, onto a ledge and into the room through its window, opens the door from the inside]
Lord Brett Sinclair: There's no need to kneel, I'm a very democratic sort of lord.
- Crazy creditsThe opening titles credit Tony Curtis and Roger Moore by their surnames only, as the alphabetical CURTiS + MOORE.
- Alternate versionsThe episodes The Gold Napoleon (1971) and Powerswitch (1971) were edited together to create the film release Mission: Monte Carlo (1974).
- ConnectionsEdited into Derrick contre Superman (1992)
'The Persuaders!' is prime-time escapism thanks to the combination of two glittering actors both at the top of their respective fields at the time. But what a strange combination, but the whole thing worked. Every series has it's own stand-out and exceptional episodes and this series was no different. The highly recommended ones come in the form of: 'Overture'(the pilot), 'Angie...Angie', 'The Gold Napoleon', 'Someone Like Me', 'Greensleeves', 'Someone Waiting', 'The Morning After' and 'The Long Goodbye'. We also have other due notable episodes like 'Take Seven' in which we see Tony Curtis deliver one of the best comedic performances of the whole series, set in a barber's shop. Finally who could forget the bronx warrior doing his fancy fight scene stunts in 'The Old, The New and The Deadly'. So, there we have some gems amongst gems in a gem of a series, with a great mixture of action and comedy. Enjoy...
