Amazing chase and a more amazing score
misstoes17 September 2022
How do you top a chase with an airplane? Well.... Glenn Gordon Caron's Maddie and David get back in the swing again with help from Agnes and MacGillicuddy. There are more bits from Hitchcock with swipes from Bernard Hermann's Hitchcock scores to go with script flashes from Hitch as well (including a guy with an overt fondness for birds). Notice the bit of Hermann's theme from Vertigo as just as Up, Up, and Away by Jimmy Webb (as sung by the Johnny Mann Singers not Fifth Dimension) finishes. This is an episode which almost makes up for the dry as dust stretches in Moonlighting. It holds up after all these years but just barely. Worth seeing.
