Delphi Bureau, The (1972) TV Movie

Delphi Bureau was the pilot film for a short-lived TV espionage series. Lawrence Luckinbill plays an operative for a secret agency that answers only to the US President. His current mission is to locate an entire fleet of obsolete Air Force planes that have vanished without a trace. Very ordinary cold-war fare, The Delphi Bureau contains one or two neat touches, notably the cryptic poems that appear on-screen just before the commercial breaks. Celeste Holm, playing the Washington social leader who acts as Luckinbill's contact, was replaced by Anne Jeffreys when this TV movie graduated to a weekly series. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Murder by the Book (1987) TV Movie

Robert Hays stars in "Murder by the Book" in the dual role of mild-mannered mystery writer D. H. Mercer and his creation, hard-boiled private eye Biff Deegan. While writing his latest book, Mercer becomes so immersed in his material that he inadvertently causes Biff to come to life. Mercer teams up with his Chandleresque doppelganger to solve a genuine mystery involving art fraud, murder, and a beautiful lady in peril (Catherine Mary Stewart). Made for television, "Murder By the Book" was based on a novel by Mel Arrighi, titled (what else?) "Alter Ego". It was filmed late in 1985 and first telecast on March 17, 1987. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
