Featured review
Rockford has nobility for a client
I agree completely with the other reviewer that it would have been impossible for James Garner to have escaped from a speeding car with a new bullet wound in his arm, nevertheless he did it. If he hadn't this series would have come to a rapid conclusion after three episodes.
The Rockford client for this episode is Susan Strasberg otherwise known as the Countess as she married some minor nobility and inherited a title before marrying Art Lund her present husband. But before her first marriage she ran with a pretty bad crowd involved in organized crime and Dick Gauthier who knew her when is blackmailing her.
Ironically if she had gone to Lund and told the truth and then they both told Gauthier where he could stick his blackmail there also would have been no episode. Instead Strassberg is determined to protect her secret at all costs and she hires yet another old friend in Rockford.
Tom Atkins as Lieutenant Deal makes his bow as the cop who develops a real hard on for Rockford after this. But both Joe Santos as Sergeant Becker and Gretchen Corbett as attorney Beth Davenport have his back. Corbett has a real good scene with Atkins where she tells off this arrogant cop good and proper.
Still it was not one of the best Rockford Files episodes.
