Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

mdefranc One may watch one of the episodes and say "They certainly weren't that creative". We must take a look at what we have come to in today's day and age when it comes to movies, which, in many cases, are nothing but a portrayal (in the minds of many of us) of what we wish we were, from a standpoint of lifestyle, socio-economic standing, looks and, last but not least, power (gosh, why did I put that for last..?).Let us remember how the 70's were and what they have left us with; I'll give you a few examples of the mark they made on our memory: Elegance, passion, style, prestige and DETAIL. If we watch the Persuader's end theme, we'll notice a line in the end credits saying "Lord Sinclair's clothes designed by Roger Moore". If some of you had a chance to catch a few episodes, you will have noticed that he was quite the creative type, whose ideas and personality molded Lord Sinclair's character remarkably well, along with his charming looks and sex appeal.Roger Moore and Tony Curtis (along with their cover girl-like lady friends) were then who many of us now try to be in places like Montecarlo, Nice, Cannes, the Italian Riviera and, of course, London except the fact that, unfortunately and fortunately, that kind of genius with respect to the aforementioned details, cannot be replicated in lieu of one simple reason: It doesn't exist anymore.The Persuaders are a staple of the 70's message that jumped at us from the screen, a message of self-confidence, sex appeal (Let's look at Suzy Kendall for instance) and style. Automobiles like Aston Martins, Jaguars and Ferraris made quite the impression then, while they sure don't nowadays due to how many you see on the big screen every time a movie comes out.In The Persuaders one will find that pastel and bright colors are in total harmony with each other, ticket-pocket blazers that blend lusciously with high-collared shirts and men's foulards. There weren't that many thongs for women then and I tend to prefer the looks of a simple bikini bottom which, if worn by a 70's woman, heightened beauty far more than what we see now. The two men were the image of free-spirited life, accompanied by a high sense of style, the right "Aplomb" any man should have.Tony Curtis (aka Bernard Schwartz): A true American star. Roger Moore: The true British Lord.I won't say much about John Barry's Theme, as it speaks for itself and everything I have said, a true masterpiece that voices out and underpins what the show meant to be. It will always bring us back either by the edge of a pool with a Martini or into a London private library with a superb scotch.Ladies, Gentlemen...cheers-

jawlaw This show stands out as one of the best shows ever killed in its first season. The balance of action, humor, plot, and plot twists came together to make this, in my mind, the best PI show (next to the Rockford Files) of the 70's. What a shame that it was given only 24 episodes to prove itself.I remember how cool the characters were and how fresh the humor--including one scene where Tony Curtis bursts out of the show to answer the phone. It turns out to be a wrong number and he speaks brusquely: "No this is not Bernie Schwartz!!!" Of course the punch line for those in the know was that this was Curtis' given name before going to Hollywood.The good news is that some one besides those writing here recognizes the unique quality of this show. Ben Stiller will appear in a movie rendition of the show which is now in pre-production. Whether it will become another "Starskey and Hutch" type spoof, or attempt to stay true to the original remains to be seen. Stiller will assume the amiable role of Danny Wilde played by Curtis in the original.

Fareed-2 This 1971-1972 British TV series starring Roger Moore & Tony Curtis had it all: A great duo, great wit & humor, fast cars, fast girls & great exotic locals! What more can you possibly ask for?! I grow up on this series and loved it dearly and I just can't wait for the up-coming DVD release from A&E which I hear will have great transfers & 2 audio commentaries by/including Roger Moore! I remember vividly that I'd arrive at my afternoon classes late, just so I could watch the episode of the week in its entirety! No way that I would miss a single episode (too bad however that only 24 were ever made). "The Persuaders!" in my humble opinion, courtesy of the great maestro John Barry (who also did the James Bond Theme), has one of the greatest themes for a TV series ever recorded. Where I grow up (in the middle east), the series was titled "The Searchers" and it was one of the most popular TV series of its time along with Gerry Anderson's "UFO". Thank you A&E for finally releasing this gem on DVD!

basje9 As mentioned in somebody else his/ her comment, I also like the theme of the Persuaders by John Barry, and indeed it sounds like there's coming up a lot of danger. As an 8 year old child, seeing the rehearsel, I do found it dangerous. Seeing it now, I see a lot of humour and some played sarcasm between a typical american and a typical englishman. Ask Persuaders fans there favourite "persuader" and you always get the answer that it's hard to choose. I like Roger Moore's way of acting, but without Tony it's no fun. Recently I joint a fanclub, bought all chaptures on DVD and learned much more about my most favourite series ever.
