Movie Reviews of The Persuaders!, Set 2Movie Review: Finally, A&E has released set II of the Persuaders!
Finally! The continuing adventures of Danny Wilde and Lord Brett Sinclair on DVD - Set II consists of the remaining 11 episodes (13 were included in Set I) of this excellent British series of the early 1970s. Regrettably, only 24 installments of the Persuaders! were ever made. The extras on this set are disappointing - the first set had two excellent audio commentaries by Sir Roger Moore and others. The show itself is the real gem here. The episodes are fun, not to be taken too seriously, lively action, adventure. I don't have a favorite episode, but I definitely have many favorite scenes, always involving the interaction between Curtis and Moore. They play off each other in subtle and not so subtle ways, often very spontaneously. There is clearly a great chemistry between them that they exploit masterfully. Since the first set came out, I have discovered a wonderful and very active and current Appreciation Society "The Morning After" (TMA)(see web site www.itc-classics.com for details) and a related outstanding website (www.blofeldscat.com/persuaders/the_persuaders.html. TMA has a great magazine (latest issue released in April 2004) with excellent access to photos and memorabilia - I highly recommend. As for the show itself, after 30 years it is still fresh. Curtis and Moore are at their best - not taking themselves or the show too seriously. If you enjoyed Set I, you will no doubt get a kick (and a lot of laughs) out of Set II. Thanks to A&E for bringing these shows to DVD in the US!!
