Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The Harts find themselves in the middle of a dangerous murder plot, but it isn't clear if the plot it a famous author's fictional murder-mystery, or an actual murder plot, until Jonathan finds himself the unsuspecting target of a killer. It begins to look like the culprit behind the plot is an old friend, Frank Crane, but there may be a connection to a corporate takeover of Hart Industries as well.

Fine, again. <em>'Hart to Hart: Old Friends Never Die'</em>, like its three predecessors, is simply no-frills, made-for-TV drama. I have nothing to moan about, yet nothing to praise either. Just very meh. Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers are certainly the glue that holds these together. Elsewhere, it's cool to see James Avery - Uncle Phil himself - appear; even if he is very underused, which is the film's biggest crime of all.
