Plot

We've reached the fourth season of Remington Steele, and the private eye title character (Pierce Brosnan) and his partner Laura Holt (Stephanie Zimbalist) still haven't consummated their unspoken passion for one another. Point of fact, we still don't know the real name of the man who calls himself Remington Steele for business purposes -- nor does Laura. The two-part opening episode finds star Stephanie Zimbalist's real-life dad, Efrem Zimbalist Jr. returning in the role of Daniel Chalmers, the shadowy mentor of the enigmatic Remington. Also appearing in this episode is the late Cassandra Harris, the then-wife of Pierce Brosnan. In later episodes, the two P.I.s protect a sleazy photographer whose nude photo of Laura has shown up in a dirty magazine; Steele wakes up from a 36-hour sleep to be told that he has lost the agency to gamblers; a Christmas party at the Steele agency is spoiled by hostage-taking, bomb-wielding villains dressed in Santa suits (and this was long before Die Hard); the detectives search for a missing cache of caviar; and our hero and heroine are placed in jeopardy by their redoubtable entrepreneur friend George E. Mulch (Michael Constantine). After the series finale "Bonds of Steele," the weekly, hour-long version of Remington Steele came to an end -- only to reemerge half a year later in the form of a brace of TV movies and a two-episode miniseries. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
