Features: DVD
Produced by Quinn Martin (The Fugitive), the gritty cop series The Streets of San Francisco returns with Season 2 - Volume 1, featuring 11 episodes on three discs, on DVD for the very first time! At the center of this hard-hitting drama is Lt. Mike Stone (Karl Malden), assigned to the homicide detail of the San Francisco Police Department, and his young, energetic partner, Inspector Steve Keller (Michael Douglas). In this volume, Stone and Keller confront a hired assassin, a ruthless bank robber, and a trio of escaped convicts. And while the storylines are well-crafted enough to stand the test of time, it's really the chemistry between the two Hollywood legends that makes this set a winner. For Stone and Keller, it's simple -- protect The Streets of San Francisco!
"...holds up because it's anchored by two charismatic leads...and, in many ways, remains a great time capsule to '70s America." Chuck O'Leary, FulvueDrive-In.com
"...classic cop drama...If you love Law & Order, give The Streets of San Francisco a chance." Cynthia Boris, DVD Verdict
"[Malden is] perfect as the veteran cop...seeing Michael Douglas in the beginning of his career is wonderful...watching them together is magic." Jon Jordan, Crimespree Cinema
"...Malden and Douglas make an interesting pair...fans of '70s cop shows-and San Francisco scenery-may want to give these streets a spin." Jude Clement, TVDVDReviews.com
"...[Malden and] Douglas have a nice, laid-back chemistry...Together, they're unstoppable and incredibly watchable." Rachel Kipp, PopMatters
Editor's Note
While it never achieved the success of such better-known shows as KOJAK or STARSKY & HUTCH, the Quinn Martin-produced THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO remains one of the highlights of the 1970s television crime-drama boom. The action-packed series also made a star of the then up-and-coming actor Michael Douglas, who, along with Karl Malden, anchored the cast as a father-and-son-like duo of crime-fighting San Francisco police detectives: 20-year veteran Mike Stone (Malden) and his eager rookie partner, Steve Keller (Douglas). Filmed on location in the city by the bay, the series distinguished itself with great acting, intricate storylines, inventive opening credits, and an indelible theme song. This collection presents the first half of the series' second season.
