Amazon.com video review:
"...But I took them away from all that, and now they work for me. My name is Charlie."
Kelly, Jill, and Sabrina--three young women right out of the Academy,
working for the illustrious and mysterious private investigator Charles
Townsend. Charlie's Angels is a true time capsule of the 1970s,
expressed through crime fighting, daunting intrigue, and subtle sexuality.
"Angels in Chains" is a tale of deception in a corrupt women's prison. A
distressed woman is desperate to solve the mysterious disappearance of her
sister in a Southern prison. The law can't help her, the system can't help
her. As a last resort she turns to Charlie's Angels. The Angels accept the
assignment and discover that the prison serves as the warden's private ring
of prostitution. Among the Angels' "prison mates" is a young Kim Basinger.
In "Angels Under Covers," the Angels are hired to investigate a string of
strange occurrences in the red light district's massage parlors. Guess
what? It appears that more than just "massages" are going on under those
red lights. And behind the shenanigans is none other than the police
department's crooked Lieutenant played by Ed Lauter. Yes it's campy, but in
a wonderfully dated sort of way. --Rob Bracco
