Editorial Reviews

A self-made millionaire living in Boston's posh Beacon Hill area, Thomas Banacek (George Peppard) is a freelance insurance investigator with a taste for only the finest things. To finance the high life, Banacek takes on the most difficult property-loss cases, which allows him to charge double the standard rate for his services. As in the case of car owners whose last resort is to bring a malfunctioning car to the dealer, the Banacek shtick requires that the insurance companies call on him to recover lost or stolen insured items only when all else has failed. But Banacek's the best; a virtual one-man A-Team. The suave sleuth is aided in his efforts by his limousine driver and gofer, Jay (Ralph Manza), and he relies heavily on his close friend and bibliophile/bookstore owner Felix Mulholland (Murray Matheson) to help in background research. A cog in the wheel of NBC's Wednesday Mystery Movie series -- along with Madigan (starring Richard Widmark) and Cool Million (James Farentino) -- Banacek aired eight 90-minute productions in this first season (1971-72), all of which are included in this two-disc set.
