Movie Reviews of Spenser: Ceremony
Movie Review: Spenser's Back
Summary: 5 Stars
Robert Urich played a smart and just Boston PI in the series Spenser for Hire. From 1985-88, His brand of intelligent and wit detection was canceled too soon after three TV seasons. spenser is aided by his friend Hawk (Avery Brooks), a cool lethal enforcer with a heart of Gold and Susan (Barbara Williams), a shrink and Spenser's Girlfriend.
After the series was canceled there were four TV movies made in the style of the series for Lifestyle Television. This was the first one.
Spenser is hired to locate April Kyle, the missing daughter of Harry Kyle, millionaire and candidate for Governor. With the assistance of Hawk, Spenser travels from Boston's "Combat Zone" to Providence and the heart of child pornography in search of one seemingly unimportant runaway
This screenplay was written by Spenser's creator Robert B Parker (based upon his original novel)with his wife Joan. They also wrote the BL Stryker episode Blues for Buder (see my Stryker Review). This grit of the original novel is slightly toned down for TV. However Urich brings Spenser's witty style to life from Parker's pen to screen
This ninety minute movie is great piece of TV on DVD. It has the impact of the show, just slightly longer format. It does makes me long for the otiginal series. However if all I can get is the four TV movies of Spenser, It is worth a small prize of credit for someone with smarts to release these Spenser movies on DVD ...until someone is smart enough at Warner Brothers to release the show on DVD. (NOTE I am NOT holding my breath until that may happen)
