Before He was Bond, He was…
Experience The Action & Romance Of This Charming Battle Of The Sexes
When The Four-Disc DVD Set Debuts On Tuesday, July 26th
From Fox Home Entertainment
Before Pierce Brosnan was issued his license to kill as the world’s most famous secret agent James Bond, he was the great detective Remington Steele, an impossibly handsome con artist and fictional front-man for Remington Steele Investigations.
Debuting on DVD July 26, 2005 from Fox Home Entertainment, Remington Steele Season One combines humor and intrigue as Steele solves mysteries while clashing with his beautiful boss, Laura Holt (Stephanie Zimbalist), in a sizzling battle of the sexes that has them fighting each other as vehemently as they fight crime.
In the early 90’s I used to stay up till midnight to watch reruns of Remington Steele. I always found the episodes smart and engaging—that hasn’t changed. Not only is this dvd set great to have around for viewing whenever one wishes, but the featurettes are fabulous in content.
There are numerous times throughout this series where Brosnan is more like James Bond than he is in his later 007 films. So if you enjoy Pierce Brosnan and/or GoldenEye, I definitely recommended this DVD box set.
Purchase from Amazon.com
Visit CBn’s Remington Steele Image Gallery where you can check out images of the box art (notice that the DVD concept art included both Brosnan’s and Zimbalist’s names whereas the final product only contains Brosnan’s) and screen captures of the DVD menus.
