Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I loved this TV show and its very sad to have lost a great actor such as Jim Hutton. This show would have ran into 5 to 6 seasons if he had lived. I feel EQ was a great program and its too bad it ended. I thank God we had a chance for the 23 episodes that were made. A+ job J. Hutton.

"Ellery Queen Mysteries" was a Detective television series that had a genuine sense of mystery about it, as the identity of the murderer wasn't revealed until the end. This worked to the shows favour. Wisely, the setting was that of the 1940s as that was when the Ellery Queen character first surfaced. Jim Hutton as the title character and his father played by David Wayne, would investigate various crimes of homicide. A group of suspects and red herrings would be assembled by the end of the episode, so that Queen could give his deliberations. The series only lasted one season which I think is a bit of a shame. There were 22 episodes altogether and whilst they are very good, I feel that more could have been made. Once again, "Universal" was the studio behind this show.

Ellery Queen (1975) was another one of those amateur sleuth television shows that were so popular during the seventies. This series was based upon the detective mysteries stories of the fictional sleuth Ellery Queen (a father and son team). The two sleuths would solve seemingly impossible cases. Father and son would solve the cases with seemingly ease. But before they reveal the end of the mystery, the writer son would turn to the camera and quiz the audience if they know the answer.A cheesy crime drama that didn't last as long as it's competitors. I used to watch old episodes of this series on A & E (during the summer time when I was in high school). It was fun playing junior detective. Kind of like a vintage version of I-Detective. Harmless fun.Recommended.

One of the great casting feats of series television, ranking with the original "Star Trek" crew, the Carol Burnett sidekick stable and the "Bonanza" Cartwrights. It's a shame there were so few episodes made; this is a prime candidate for reissue in whatever form. High quality mystery writing, and with a little more action than say, Miss Marple.
