Elementary Steele
Prismark1011 April 2020
It is the second season finale and it has a cast of all star detectives.

Mystery buffs including Sherlock Holmes, Dr Watson, Mr Moto, Miss Marple and Philip Marlowe think they are taking part in some make believe mystery.

In fact they are being used in a clever scheme to locate a mastermind in a bank embezzlement scheme.

It all starts with Rocky Sullivan escaping from Holmes and Watson. Wearing just a bath towel she does trick motorcycle riding in the hope to catch the attention of the cops. She ends up in a mental asylum.

Remington and Laura go to see Rocky and disbelieve her story until they see a vintage car. It turns out that the fictional sleuths thought this was all a game until it turned deadly.

The episode has a good combination of humour, mystery and drama. It actually is a better episode of Remington Steele, Pierce Brosnan gets to do some accents, he plays an English biker straight out of Grease. He also gets very upset when someone he likes dies.

I've always loved this series. I just watched this episode for the first time on DVD. It's fast becoming one of my favorite from season 2.

There is enough mystery there for both Laura and Steele to discover, as true "partners" do. As the body count rises, our heroes take the time to contemplate each death. Aside from the action, there are nice personal moments throughout.

The scratches over actress Stephanie Zimbalist looked real. It seems bigger during the exterior scenes. Might it have been an actual injury during the shoot?
