Yes folks, delightful and I will explain you why. First, because the two episodes - that I watched in a row like a movie - are both directed by Bob Altman, the future director of JOHN MC CABE and MASH. I knew he made some stuff for TV, but not of this kind. And second because we have here Roger Moore in one of his earliest performances, although he had already played in some American features before, and he is here is a dandy bootlegger character. What exciting. And he has already his famous faces and eyes expressions, the same he will have later in the James Bond movies. I really love his character here, where he seduces the recurrent lead lady of the show.
The directing is awesome for this kind of production, it could have been a classic noir movie. So shame this is not more widely known. If you can get it, don't miss this episode. I also hope this series will be released on day. The copy I watched was pretty bad, probably an old taping off.
