PETER GUNN : THE FIRST SEASON
Peter Gunn was a private detective in the tradition of the film noir detectives of the 30's and 40's. What set him apart from the detectives of the past was the absence of the cheaply furnished office in the bad part of town and his snappy clothing and hip manner. This was also the first detective show where the music became an integral part of the auction. He usually operated out of Mother's Jazz Club and rubbed shoulders with the hip people of the time. Pete, as his friends called him, was often aided by police Lieutenant Jacoby. At the jazz club, Mother was joined as a regular character by Edie Hart, a jazz singer and Pete's girlfriend. This 8-disc box set contains the first season, uncut and unedited. $45.00
