Remington Steele's fusion of whodunit mystery and screwball comedy burst onto television in 1982. After struggling to get clients to hire a female detective, Laura Holt (sultry Stephanie Zimbalist) invents a fictional boss named Remington Steele, whose dashing manly name draws in work. But while protecting some South African jewels, Holt runs across a mysterious thief and con-man (an elfin, baby-faced Pierce Brosnan) whom her client assumes is the nonexistent Steele--and when the case is resolved, the accidental detective decides he likes the work and sticks around, infuriating Holt with his arrogant ways and tantalizing her with his dashing good looks. Murders may occur at a winery, an island sex club, or a college reunion, but just about every episode plunders plot elements from classic movies like Bringing Up Baby, The Third Man, and The Trouble with Harry (even the theme song was written by film composer Henry Mancini). The writers openly acknowledge this influence by having Steele use ideas he's lifted from movies to solve crimes. The constant allusions to old films should be annoying, but the show demonstrates such a rich affection for the classics that these tips of the hat actually mesh with Remington Steele's world.
Remington Steele has become best known as Brosnan's launching pad (he later become James Bond in GoldenEye and its sequels), but Zimbalist was every bit as crucial to the show's success; her mixture of glamor and toughness gives the show a distinctly adult sexiness and grounds Brosnan's boyish charm. The dialogue sometimes slipped from arch camp to sheer cheese, but even at its most ridiculous (say, a scene where Holt and Steele question homeless bums while dressed in formal evening wear) Remington Steele remains an eminently watchable show, thanks to zippy plotting and the chemistry between Zimbalist and Brosnan. Some episodes clearly implied that the pair had become intimate, yet that didn't defuse their attraction. Even when the stories became a bit silly, the mutual respect and desire between Holt and Steele never lost its sophistication.
Steele是个潇洒,智慧而且浪漫的侦探。这位神秘的侦探总是和他的助手Laura在不经意的情况下侦破了一件又一件的案子。而事实上,侦探社的真正操盘手正是Laura。因为人们总是不不够信任一个女侦探,因为,看起来实在太柔弱了。于是Laura制造了一个老板——Pierce Brosnan。侦探社开始接受一个一个的案子,而随着两人联手侦破案子的同时,感情的羁绊也渐渐加深……
还记得少年时那个风流倜傥的侦探故事吗?雷明顿斯蒂尔,这个假冒的侦探,却总能以迷人的眼神和出其不意的方式,将年少的我们都拉在荧幕前不肯离去,从那时起,便有不少人坚信,皮尔斯·布鲁斯南应该出演新一代007,剧集本身在美国也是大获成功,因大受欢迎而连续播出了六年之久,重新唤起了美国观众对一度萎靡不振的侦探片的兴趣
