The Perfect Gentleman Issue 1 - March 2016 | Page 41

Cultural Gentleman
Indeed one show was explicitly based on the
movie and that was the 70s show ‘Hart to
Hart’. The handsome & wealthy couple get
involved as amateur sleuths but what always
makes the show is its witty banter and the
strength of their relationship.
But it can be seen in modern format in the TV
show ‘Castle’, the roles have been reversed,
she is the detective and he is the wealthy
flippant novelist. But the banter & the
relationship remain.
These are just two highlights of the
relationship that spawned a thousand
imitators but you should try and watch the
original. Indeed, the movie itself is a classic of
it’s period and still holds up today we highly
recommend a viewing.
Available through Amazon, other online
Stores & digitally.
