Watched the pilot episode of this short-lived show starring James Farentino as an ex-CIA agent turned private investigator (with John Vernon as his INTERPOL pal). The premiere has Barbara Bouchet---I would bet a million that her voice was dubbed. I know I have heard her real voice in Agent from HARM and her voice is deep and heavily accented. Could she lose her accent by 1972? I doubt it. The most intriguing thing is the dubbed voice sounds like Carole Lynley.
Must have been cheap to film in Europe then. They go sailing in Greece and lounging around Italy. I was expecting a dud but it was a pretty good twist (Larry Cohen writer). The second episode has Ray Milland and the third, Pamela Franklin so I will keep with it until that at least. I want to get to Banacek after an episode of Madigan.

I saw Cool Million a few times on reruns. It was okay.
If you've never seen Banacek the episode I liked the best was the one where he was searching for a missing airplane. Sterling Hayden, Victoria Principal, and Jack Kelly were the guest stars.

Oops! That's season 2. I didnt have it. Ok getting that one.
One of Banacek's verbal signatures was the quotation of strangely worded yet curiously cogent "Polish" proverbs such as:
"If you're not sure that it's potato borscht, there could be orphans working in the mines." "Though the hippopotamus has no sting, the wise man would prefer to be sat upon by the bee."
