When Laura Holt (Stephanie
Zimbalist), a beautiful young private detective
begins her own business (Laura Holt investigations), she soon
discovers that no one is willing to hire a female detective. In
an attempt to attract clients, Laura creates a mythical boss
named Remington Steele, renames her company (Remington Steele
Investigations), and suddenly business is booming. Shortly after,
a mysterious man - the man with Remington's face (Pierce Brosnan) - appears
and cons Laura into making him her partner, the mysterious
Remington Steele. The charming series combines humor and mystery
as it details Laura and Remington's case investigations. (from Fifty
Years of Television, A Guide to Series and Pilots, 1937-1988,
by Vincent Terrace)
Laura Holt and Remington Steele had come
together quite by accident, but they made a great pair of
sleuths. She was smart, brassy, and attractive; he was cultured,
handsome, and extremely charming. Together they solved complex
murder mysteries in high society, while maintaining a
relationship that bordered on the romantic. Actually, Remington
had begun as a figment of Laura's imagination. Opening her own
investigation agency, she found that a woman's name did not bring
in assignments, so she invented an imaginary boss - Remington
Steele - and business boomed. Trouble was, wealthy clients kept
wanting to meet this supersleuth whose name was on the door.
Along came an incredibly handsome chap with a suave manner and a
mysterious background; just what she needed. Steele (his real
name and background remained a mystery) bumbled a lot at first,
but learned the private eye's trade quickly and soon was more
than a front man for Laura. A fan of old Hollywood movies, he
often pursed a case by playing out a scene from a classic film
like The Thin Man, Notorious, or Key Largo.
With easy banter and close teamwork, and occasional comic
interludes, the stylish pair proved that romance and mystery did
still mix.
There were changes in the supporting
cast for the second season, as Bernice the secretary (Janet DeMay) ran off with a saxophone
player and was replaced by Mildred (Doris
Roberts), an ex-I.R.S. agent who had lost her government job
after letting Remington beat a tax-evasion charge; and Murphy,
Laura's original partner (James Read),
left to form his own agency.
Remington Steele's last regular season was 1985-1986. However, in early 1987 NBC aired two new two-hour movies in which Laura and Remington solved international mysteries and finally consummated their relationship.
