James Garner returns for more intelligent mysteries, devious suspects and classic Rockford action on DVD for the first time.
Ex-con-turned-private-investigator Jim Rockford would rather fish than fight but his instinct on closed police cases is more golden than his classic Pontiac Firebird. From his mobile trailer-home in Malibu (complete with phone-answer machine), this wisecracking private eye takes on cases of the lost and dispossessed, chasing down seemingly long-dead clues in the sun-baked streets and seamy alleys of L.A. - for $200 a day...plus expenses. Rockford chases down underworld mobsters, art thieves, an organ transplant ring and other criminals who never expect to find the world's most unlikely detective behind his easygoing, laid back demeanor. This 6 disc set presents James Garner (MAVERICK) in all 20 cases from the phenomenally popular detective series' fifth season - all NEWLY REMASTERED from the original 35mm negatives, with guest stars including Tom Selleck, Hector Elizondo, Rene Auberjonois, Erin Gray, Marge Redmond, Mary Frann, Abe Vigoda and more.
