HART TO HART: PILOT {SERIES PREMIERE} (TV)
Summary
The pilot for this series of adventure dramas about a wealthy couple with a flair for solving crimes. Jonathan Hart's investigation into the apparent suicide of a close friend leads him and his wife Jennifer to the health farm from which his friend was returning when he crashed his car. After the Harts check in, they grow suspicious about a mysterious treatment, called an "anxiety session," being given to a famous actress guest. Jonathan attempts to break into the office of the two head doctors, but finds himself trapped in an air duct with a rattlesnake. Natalie Wood makes a walk-on appearance as a movie star. Furthermore, actress Sylvia Maxwell is murdered; Jennifer unwittingly reveals her true identity while under hypnosis; Jonathan is threatened by Dr. Peterson; and Jennifer becomes the near-victim of an attempt on Jonathan's life involving a flame-throwing blow-dryer. Commercials deleted.
