| | | Stone and Keller Are Back to Clean Up the Streets!
Features: DVD
The Streets of San Francisco returns with 12 additional episodes from the explosive Season Season, digitally remastered, on DVD for the first time ever! This gritty cop show follows the cases of Lt. Mike Stone (Karl Malden), a veteran detective and widower assigned to the homicide division of the San Francisco Police Department, and his young, college-educated partner, Inspector Steve Keller (Michael Douglas). In Volume 2, Mike is accused of murder, Steve goes undercover as a criminal, and together they confront a deadly bomber and deranged arsonist. With action-packed drama and authentic locales, it's easy to see why this hit series became one of the best crime shows of the 1970s, expertly dramatizing the people, the places, and 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 second half of the series' second season.
