John Saxon who never was on Hollywood's A list, but was one of the most recognizable actors of the 70's and 80's. Well, because Saxon performed every role possible. John gets his turn with the Rockford Files and plays Beth's love interest. I never seen Jim jealous before and the cool Jim is out of sink at the start of the show. Beth's love interest has all the right moves, chic, smart, but slimy. Jim sees the problem, but humorous deals with the clash culture. Jim needs a tie in the restaurant scene is hilarious. Well Jim gets set up, and Beth is heart broken in the old set up scheme. Regrettably Jim has to street smart the formidable John Saxon character and help with Beth's broken heart. The Portrait ending is memorable. A Portrait of Elizabeth is a solid episode following the entertaining formula which make the series memorable. 7 stars.
