This is the made-for-T.V. pilot which began the popular mystery program about David Addison, a private detective, and Maddie Hayes, the former model who unwittingly becomes his business partner. Together, they work on a case involving a fortune in diamonds, a murdered punk rocker and an ex-Nazi. The show, with a witty mix of mystery, sharp dialogue and palpable sexual tension between its two leads, introduced Bruce Willis to the world and brought Cybill Shepherd back into the spotlight.

The series was better, but the pilot is quite entertaining in its own right

Especially in the early seasons, Willis and Shepherd had an unbeatable chemistry.
