American writer Sidney Sheldon who is also
credited for creating other drama such as ‘the patty duke show’
and ‘I dream of Jeannie’, collaborated with renowned writer and
producer Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg to create the late 70s’
popular television series ‘Hart to Hart’ for the ABC Television
Network; the American Television series aired to the public from 1979
to 1984.
The plot of this TV series follows Jonathan Hart –
played by Robert Wagner, a millionaire (self made) and director of
his global company, Hart Industries and his lovable wife Jennifer
Wagner – played by Stefanie Powers; who was a journalist albeit a
freelance one. Every episode follow this glamorous and wealthy
couples’ lives in their some what amateur detective escapades in
solving cases which most often then not involve murder, theft,
smuggling, and international espionage. Jonathan and Jennifer’s
life would not run smoothly had it not been for the loyal service of
their pleasant butler Max, who assists around their luxurious
Californian home; max’s character is played by Lionel Stander.
Other minor roles in the series are that of the Chauffeur who
tends to get involved in the Harts’ ‘cases’ at their behest,
and the cook. The Hart’s also keep a dog in their home named
freeway; a name given to him because of where they found and rescued
him. Hart to Hart show on DVD can be yours as a complete DVD box set
with all DVDs in one nice package and with all seasons.
It is
worth noting that the original script was written for an entirely
different network (CBS) under a totally different name – Double
Twist, with a plot along the lines of a couple who played spies
(think Mr. and Mrs. Smith), by Sidney Sheldon. The original script
was never developed for television, and it took the intervention of
well known producer Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg to recreate a
contemporary setting for the script.
This led them to Tom
Mankiewicz who worked his magic and developed ‘Hart to Hart’ also
making his directorial debut on the show by directing the pilot
episode. Tom remained with the television series for latter episodes,
but only as a well versed creative consultant. Casting for the role
of Jonathan changed a few times with indecision over whether Cary
Grant should have the part or Robert Wagner; because of Grant’s age
and being retired, the more natural choice for the part was Robert
Wagner.
