      Robert Wagner and Sir John Standing appeared in Hart to Hart (1979), To Catch a King (1984), and Lime Street (1985).
    • Goofs
      The second episode shows the screen caption 'Tblisi, Russia'. Tblisi is not in Russia, but in Georgia - at the time one of the fifteen soviet socialist republics (SSRs) that constituted the Soviet Union. A more accurate screen caption would therefore be 'Tblisi, Georgian SSR' or 'Tblisi, Soviet Union'.
    • Alternate versions
      American video release cuts the film to 95 m.

    Ughhh
    Ok, I *may* have seen this on tv when it first aired, and if I did I *may* have liked it. I do like many of the actors involved. But watching it now in 2022 it's terrible.

    My first impression was about the music. Worst. "Music." Ever. Then I decided to lookup what year it was made - 1988 - as it really feels like it was the late seventies; not in clothing styles nor anything else obviously seventies, but just how it feels.

    Again, coming at it from 2022 it's just sooo unbelievably plotted that it's nearly unwatchable. Add to that that it's on streaming platform Freevee with poorly placed commercials every few minutes and it becomes entirely unwatchable.

    Avoid this made-for-tv pablum from a bygone era.
