DESCRIPTION
Created by Stephen J. Cannell The Rockford Files, 21 Jump Street, among others, the USA Network's Silk Stalkings was about as sexy as non-premium cable TV got in the early 1990s. Palm Beach homicide detectives Rita Lee Lance Mitzi Kapture and Chris Lorenzo Rob Estes investigate crimes they call "silk stalkings," murders that expose the seamy--and steamy--side of high society. Rita and Chris investigate the crimes, frequently by going undercover so to speak to expose macho men or their beautiful women companions, who tend to lounge about in swimwear or lingerie. During the first season, the detectives face ghosts from their pasts and push the edge of their profession Ben Vereen plays their exasperated captain, a role later filled by Charlie Brill, all the while swapping sexual innuendo but dating other people with disappointing results. The platonic-partners schtick is nothing The X-Files or Moonlighting didn't do with more style, but the stars did have a chemistry that in later years their replacements were never able to re-Kapture.
In addition to the 22 episodes, the DVD set features 39 minutes of interviews with Cannell, an almost unrecognizable Estes, a straight-haired Kapture both stars talk about each other, their departures, and other cast members, and a nostalgic Vereen, plus a joint reminiscence between Cannell and Vereen. --David Horiuchi
