I can remember large parts of the original TV movie of this as well as the subsequent episodes of the series. Laurence Luckinbill was exceptional in this role. (Celeste Holm wasn't chopped liver, neither; she couldn't help but glow whatever she was doing.) It was a fascinating premise for a show that was, sadly, probably beyond a lot of the viewing audience at the time.
Ironically, the plots for the show were a little thin... although in retrospect, I think that this is more the zeitgeist of 70s television than anything else. (I have the complete run of Columbo episodes from years past, which suffers from similar problems.) The unfolding of the plot is really quite ritual, stylized in a way that has become rather brittle with age. Again, in the mid-70s, we weren't as sophisticated. Perhaps we hadn't seen enough PBS imports of British stuff, yet. :)
I'd love to see The Delphi Bureau come out on DVD.
