Quotes

Danny Wilde: You know what really riles me? The fact that we could be outsmarted by a dumb-dumb like Felix. What does he think? He must think he's in some kind of a spy movie, that's what!
Lord Brett Sinclair: "The Spy Who Came In from the Cold." That was a good film. Robert Burton.
Danny Wilde: Benson.
Lord Brett Sinclair: No - *Richard* Burton!
Danny Wilde: No - Benson!
Lord Brett Sinclair: Who's Benson?
Danny Wilde: That's the name of the guy I spoke on the phone with last night. He thought I was Felix! And he mentioned something about contracts.

Seventies magic
4 December 1999 | by (Germany) – See all my reviews

Known in Germany as "Die Zwei" - The Two this continues to be a favorite with frequent reruns. Everyone grown up during the seventies remembers and loves the show. It is said that the success was mainly due to a loose translation. Moore and Curtis would talk in a language that was unknown at the time with lots of puns and jokes. (It died out with the seventies.) But from a purely visual point of view with great scenery and also because of the music score this was a great one and the mostly silly and foreseeable plots are easily forgiven. It seemed that the beauty in every other episode was synchronized by the same actor who did Paula from Daktari the jungle show. That annoyed me a lot as a kid. But even that I find fascinating now.
