Pre-Owned Silk Stalkings: The Complete Third Season [6 Discs] (DVD 0013131333695)

0013131333695. Pre-Owned: Good condition. DVD. Run time: 60 mins. Season three of Silk Stalkings finds the series missing from its familiar late night berth on the CBS detective anthology Crimetime After Primetime. However, the series will continue to air on the USA cable network, turning out first-run episodes for the next six years. Back to solve more crimes of passion amongst the rich and well-connected citizens of Palm Beach, FL, are undercover detectives Chris Lorenzo (Rob Estes) and Rita Lee "Sam" Lance (Mitzi Kapture). This season, Chris and Rita take their marching orders from a new superior officer: Captain Harry Lipschitz, a bombastic but likeable hypochondriac played by comedian Charlie Brill. Also added to the cast is Brill's wife and comedy partner Mitzi McCall as Harry's overbearing wife Fran. Highlights during the third season include the episode "The Party's Over," which boasts a plot transparently lifted from the 1944 film noir Laura: a grieving Chris investigates the brutal murder of his partner Rita -- only to be shocked and surprised when Rita turns up alive and well a few days after "her" body is found. Similarly, the season's final episode, "Dark Heart," takes a few pages from the 1972 Clint Eastwood flick Play Misty for Me, as Chris is stalked by a lovelorn female psychopath. This situation sets up the chilling cliffhanger finale, with Chris hanging onto life by a thread after being shot full of holes...and Rita finally realizing how much she loves him. Hal Erickson, Rovi
