Rockford Files attempt at humor. And Beamer's Last Case executes it so well. Every knew that person who is not to bright and is delusional which makes him or her a walking disaster. Everywhere That person goes disaster and follows and you get a lighter wallet.
Well Beamer impersonates Jim while Jim is out of town, and thus puts Jim into a disaster. Relationships problems, the Trans am disaster, and bad guys after Jim is in a pickle so bad that not even Angel could create such a disaster. Jim's hard luck and Beamer inept social skills create a humorous energy. Of course Jim has a soft side for Beamer, you can not help but feel sorry for the goof, and Jim uses great social skill and lateral thinking to out wit the mess.
Memorable as the comedy episode. Season four of "The Rockford Files" gets off to a great start as Jim returns home from a vacation early only to discover he's been the victim of identity theft. Someone's been using his name, his trailer, his car and his credit cards. That someone has also gotten him involved in some dangerous cases he knows nothing about. Cannell really contributed a terrific script here that he directed himself.
He's also helped by some great casting. James Whitmore Jr. He talks like a character in "True Detective" yet looks like a guy from 'Revenge of the Nerds". Former "Maverick" co-star Jack Kelly is back for his second go around this time as the red herring jealous husband Ralph Steele.
He mostly gets to stomp around and be angry, though at least he gets a little screen time with Garner. Too bad he never came back in the series as someone helping Jim pull a "big con". Robert Loggia makes the second of his three Rockford guest shots and he's a terrific heavy, as usual. Cal Bellini, in his only appearance on the show, stands out as loan shark Pedro Ramierez.
But credit Cannell for giving Garner a script that gives him a lot of great moments notice how interested Dennis seems in the "True Detective" gut slammer magazine when they visit Beemer especially when Jim cons Beemer with his story about "Tombstone Tommy" Ricco and "Big Jack" Christiani, the mobbed up artichoke king.
Garner has a pronounced limp when we see him run in this episode, reminding us of the pounding he took doing the show that would eventually lead to him stopping production in season six. This is a somewhat implausable but very entertaining episode. Directed by: Stephen J. Synopsis: Jim Rockford James Garner cuts his vacation short due to lack of funds and returns home only to find that someone has stolen his identity and is living in his home, booking clients under his name and racking up credit card debt buying detecting equipment.
The scene is shot from beneath the home where a cat is watching her exit the car and approach the door. He does. Season starts with a new Firebird for JIm updated model with four headlights instead of two - and it's wrecked before Jim can even drive it.
Also Rocky has a new truck as the interior is now red with a different style headliner. Getting Started Contributor Zone ». Edit page. Top Gap. See more gaps ». Create a list ». US Full.
