Undercover bullet belt1/9/2024 ![]() ![]() While the chemistry between Allen and Garner is actually pretty good and they play well together (she turns out to be just as cheap as he is!), it seems a bit lacking when you put it all together. Thus begins an enjoyable little tit for tat as the two try and one up the other in discoveries. Only she's intent on coming with Rockford on the hunt and is anxious to play Nancy Drew and show off her own detecting skills. The rest of the story is told in flashback as Jim is hired by Sandra Turkel (Sian Barbara Allen, one of the prettiest "plain" girls you'll ever see) a newspaper reporter who's out to find out why her friend Susan Dusky disappeared. Grazed by the bullet, he goes down and out. Jim hits one with a shovel and the other one shoots Rockford in the head. ![]() Just as he gets the coffin open and discovers no one is inside, two gorillas in suits race up. This episode gets off to a great start: its late night in a graveyard and Jim is getting a coffin dug up with the help of a couple of mugs. This episode ends on the rare occasion where there is no convenient conclusion, as the money is never found, as Jim is left pondering where the money is. George DiCenzo, Susan Damante, and James Murtaugh round out the cast, although there's no Rocky or Dennis to be found. He plays an associate of a funeral director, a federal agent(Jim was conned by fake agent Harry Stoner, and returns the favor), and he plays a doctor with funny looking glasses while on a train. We get to see how Rockford creates his phoney business cards, with something looking like a printing press in his car, as he plays 3 different undercover roles, and this is where James Garner shines. Most of the remaining scenes revolve around Jim and Sandra Turkel(Sian Barbara Allen), who looks like a teenager. The very beginning has Jim and 2 other guys(who were they?)grave digging looking for missing money, then shortly after 2 goons break up the party and Jim gets grazed by a bullet and falls into the empty hole in the ground and sustains a serious concussion he spends a few weeks at the hospital, as the episode is shown to us in flashback form. In this season 1 episode of the Rockford Files, Jim is hired by a young woman to help locate her friend, who's been missing for some time. ![]()
