Early ,'Objects In Space'
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
i've been watching this great show called "To Catch a Thief."
I LOVED that show when I was a kid! I had a whole fantasy where I would go along on capers, posing as Wagner's niece (this was pre-romantic crushes--which started very soon after for me). I just wanted to be an international agent with him. I figured I was not only good cover--I was small and could climb into tiny vaults and things. I would practice climbing and balancing and picking locks all the time.
I saw it on it's first run! Loved it and then even more when they brought in Fred!
I liked Fred better than Robert Wagner! I had such a crush on him.
He was so elegant! I like that in a man, and he could dance!
It's really interesting to watch it with a current perspective. I'm loving it.
i've been watching this great show called "To Catch a Thief". it stars Robert Wagner as this thief who gets paroled to a mysterious government agency called the SIA to steal for the government. it's set in the late 60s/early 70s, and he wears nehru jackets to formal events and whatnot.
Wasn't it "It Takes a Thief"? "To Catch a Thief" being the classic Hitchcock/Grant/Grace Kelley movie.
I remember watching that and The Saint around the same time.
Also, where is that airing? Or is it on DVD?
yes frank, you're right about the title. I'm watching it right now. He's wearing his formal Nehru jacket now, with the satin collar.
Frank, it's on hulu.com
I have to say, the characterization of the hedge fund douchebag was spot-on. I mean, his attitude and the technical things he said sometimes veered towards parody, but I have met that person IRL many times. It was a much more fleshed-out and subtle characterization than I would expect to see in a TV show.
