deana_lisi This is easily one of the best shows that I have ever watched. I've always loved Tony Curtis and Roger Moore, and to see them both together would be the last thing you would expect, but it was the best thing the show's creators ever did. Tony and Roger's characters of Danny Wilde and Brett Sinclair are complete opposites, (except for the fact that they are both rich playboys) and they are truly hilarious to watch. You can see how much fun they had playing their roles, (especially Tony, who was always smiling, doing goofy things, and saying the funniest lines...I'm convinced that he ad-libbed half of what he said). The show was visually beautiful, being filmed in England, France, Scotland, etc. It completely boggles my mind that the show didn't catch on in America! It's such an awful, awful shame, as I could watch this show every day. (I have both sets, and have been doing just that, lol.) If you can get your hands on the DVDs (which are VERY expensive now...I'm sure glad I bought mine 12 years ago) don't hesitate. You'll treasure this show for the rest of your life. OH, I can't end this review without mentioning the AWESOME theme music! One of the best TV themes I've ever heard!
joshuaking66 This show has got to be the one action series that stood out from the rest,of its time.One of the most expensive to make,not just because of its two main stars,but also its exotic locations.The project of the series,was the brainchild of TV/movie MOGUL,SIR LEW GRADE,who saw big money in the idea,but after just 24 episodes,the show was axed,the show ran from 1971 to 1972,was memorable for its haunting catchy theme tune,composed and performed by the late great TV/film composer JOHN BARRY.The performance of its two stars,SIR ROGER MOORE and TONY CURTIS,was pure magic,and reminded me very much of those BING CROSBY and BOB HOPE road films,the plots were simple but often bizarre,fight scenes were always fun to watch,no one ever had a mark left,and SIR ROGER MOORE's hair was never out of place.The show was sold all over the world,since its axe,it has been repeated on TV many times,such as bravo channel,it is available on DVD box set,and corgi even produced a replica of LORD BRET SINCLAIR's car,the famous yellow mustard Aston Martin,but corgi never got round to producing DANNY WILDE's car, TONY CURTIS's Red Ferrari.There was talk at one time of making a big screen version of the show,and many names had been put forward,such as,comic STEVE COOGAN,even GEORGE CLOONEY in the part of DANNY WILDE,but as yet nothing has surfaced,but for now we can only watch the original series,and marvel at its brilliance,its magic of its performers,SIR ROGER MOORE now 85 years old,yet still showing us he's a classy saint,and of course remember with great fondness,the late great TONY CURTIS,to me and to others,THE PERSUADERS will live on in our hearts
Andoy Tony Curtis and Roger Moore give spectacular performances in what is perhaps one of the best TV Series ever. The premise of the show, the acting, the chemistry are amazing. Lucky for us, the DVD release has afforded us the chance to marvel again. And we are not disappointed. The show's superior wit, acting and ambiance stand above the crowd. A synergistic mix of great writing, Curtis' witty ad-libbing, Roger Moore's excellent acting add up to a sum greater than it's parts. The sometimes convivial, sometimes needling, bantering and quipping between Moore and Curtis give the show the real flavor of an off-the-cuff, unrehearsed performance. The show has a real energy and flow that keeps us wanting more. It also works marvelously due to the fact that both Moore and Curtis were allowed to let some of their real personalities shine through -- they were cast perfectly and they weren't laboring to be something they were not.
Fareed-2 This 1971-1972 British TV series starring Roger Moore & Tony Curtis had it all: A great duo, great wit & humor, fast cars, fast girls & great exotic locals! What more can you possibly ask for?! I grow up on this series and loved it dearly and I just can't wait for the up-coming DVD release from A&E which I hear will have great transfers & 2 audio commentaries by/including Roger Moore! I remember vividly that I'd arrive at my afternoon classes late, just so I could watch the episode of the week in its entirety! No way that I would miss a single episode (too bad however that only 24 were ever made). "The Persuaders!" in my humble opinion, courtesy of the great maestro John Barry (who also did the James Bond Theme), has one of the greatest themes for a TV series ever recorded. Where I grow up (in the middle east), the series was titled "The Searchers" and it was one of the most popular TV series of its time along with Gerry Anderson's "UFO". Thank you A&E for finally releasing this gem on DVD!
