Could it be – Diana Prince married? No, not really: her
“marriage” to fellow agent Chris Harrison is just a ruse to get recognizance on
a crime group operating at a spa. Their MO – to lure wives of influential men into massage
parlors then apply a pressure point that hypnotizes them into revealing trade
secrets – has been working so far on Dolly, wife of Sam Tucker. The group
leader, David Allen, has no such luck with Diana, who manages, despite souped
up golf-carts and runaway horses, to blow the whistle on David and negate his
chances for any kind of “happy ending.” (Sorry!)
Clever twist opening doesn’t redeem this one, which has a
rather hard-to-swallow premise, and doesn’t do such a hot job of explaining it
either. I was never clear on exactly how Allen
will use these secrets to commit grand larceny or whatever the hell his
intended crime is, nor did I really care. Most likely he real motivation for
doing this show was the luxurious locale they could set up cast and crew at,
not to mention the eye candy of Lynda Carter in a swimsuit for the male
viewers.
John Getz plays Chris Harrison here; I’ll always remember
him as the heavy in The Fly (1986).
Who can forget his had getting dissolved away by the fly’s corrosive sputum?
