In 1993, nine years after Hart to Hart ended, Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers reunited for a series of made-for-TV movies. Eight 90-minute television films were made in total over the next four years: the first five for NBC, and the final three for CTV Television Network.

I've never seen an episode from the television series, but still wanted to check out the films that followed it - this is the first of eight (!).

'Hart to Hart Returns' gives me split feelings. The opening chunk is very boring and rather tiresome, there's literally a set of three or four consecutive scenes at one point which are just the two leads having a kiss. There's a lot of filler at the start, is what I'm saying.

However, I found myself fairly - if only minorly - enjoying the back end of the film when the mystery elements start kicking in. I'm not saying it's an unpredictable second half but it's alright to watch unfold. It ends up being a marginally interesting story. Not enough to make up for the slow start, mind.

As for the cast - average. Stefanie Powers is the pick, though is obviously closely followed by co-star Robert Wagner. Lionel Stander is likeable in his role, he has an amusing scene featuring Freeway the dog and an estate agent - arguably the scene of the film.

Onto the next one!
