Strange goings-on at a golf course
lead our duo to discover a small group of malcontents selling scientific secrets to
"the other side" via satellite.
IMHO |
Sorry to report it is terribly uneven, falls quite flat in the
clubhouse scenes, and does not feature one single interesting character.
About the only redeeming qualities are a few cute scenes (see Best Scene and
Best Line).
Trivia |
Stunt Arranger Ray Austin makes brief appearance in the fight between Collins and Mrs. Peel in the bunker: you can just catch a clear glimpse of him doubling for Francis Matthews as he jumps Emma (thanks, Stephen).
One line of dialog, delivered to Emma in the clubhouse, is really quite an eyebrow-raiser: "I wouldn't mind giving you a stroke or two, on or off the course." Mark McDevitt wonders how this one slipped past the censors...
Acronym Alert: CGC is the Craigleigh Golf Club.
On Location |
Does the entrance to the golf club (above left) look familiar?
Perhaps you just saw it in "The Girl from Auntie."
Best Scene |
In an attempt to throw off the timing of a golf match, Steed performs a series of bizarre
pre-tee-off rituals, which includes checking the course with a sextant (see
the screen grab).
Best Line |
Laid up after being hit with a rocket-powered golf ball, Steed credits his trusty hat for
saving his life, and Emma quips, "It really is the height of pessimism to have a hat
lined with chain mail."
Tag |
Steed and Emma head off in—what else?—a golf cart.
