Hart to Hart (TV Series) What Murder? (1980) User Reviews

Solid episode

Really liked this episode. It's a sort of like Rear Window, only this time the protagonist- Mr Hart- loses his memory. He can't remember who he is and only get flashes of the victim. He can't see the face of murderer. Of course, With the help of his wife and the butler he slowly recovers, but the killer has other ideas and tries to kill Mr Hart. What I liked about this episode was Jonathan's desperation to get his memory back and the support of his wife. It just underlies the impressive chemistry both actors have. You really believe they're a couple.

Better than the debut for season 2, with a long way to go

Jonathan witnesses a murder, then contracts amnesia and must recover in order to capture the killer. For whatever reason(s), Robert Wagner looks terrible in this episode, both around the eyes and lack of his usual well-coiffured hair. As it turns out, the murderer is a friend of the Harts, and he attempts to get rid of Hart by using drugs that he cons the access to from his wife the doctor, who conveniently carries a stockpile at home. That's hard to fathom, as is the fact that Jonathan will get into a car after he experiences the effects of the drugs his "friend" gives to him, which include blurred vision and not feeling well. It would've been better had the effects ensued after he started driving the car. Still, it's clever that his friend chooses a restaurant that's high on a hill, allowing for the predictable wild ride down the curved road, missing all cars and obstacles. Lastly, the most unbelievable part of this episode is that the parking enforcement staff only issued one parking ticket to the Harts' car and didn't tow the car that sat there overnight!
