Member Movie Reviews JoAnne C. from RALEIGH, NC Reviewed on 10/25/2012... It was interesting seeing the episodes that Robert Culp wrote himself, and to see him play another character in "The Warlord." I recognized him, but my husband didn't!
Movie ReviewsGreat writing for television S. G Spires | Huntsville, Al United States | 11/17/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Today the raves are for Aaron Sorkin and The West Wing, two decades ago it was Bochco and Hill Street Blues, but some of the writing done on I Spy (most by series star Robert Culp) was every bit as lively, crisp and topical as TV is today. The episodes on this disk, specifically Magic Mirror and Home To Judgement, are some of the best television scripts ever produced. This is part of a double-DVD set, with all episodes written by series star Robert Culp. I've read where Culp locked himself away in a secluded house with no phone to write these episodes, and the dedication shows. Magic Mirror is more than just a cold war thriller, it's plot is a Shakesperean tragedy for the jet set set against the backdrop of a small country being tugged over like a rope caught in superpower's jaws. Home To Judgement illustrates that television heroes aren't always shaved and well dressed, and that sometimes things do go wrong. The end sequence has Robinson and Scott shooting it out inside a cramped farm house with hoods whose faces you never quite see ... it is quite sureal. Great series. A big screen movie with Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson is in the works, but I don't think it'll live up to the small screen rendition." The Culp Collection, A Must Have! ianhse | Redondo Beach, CA USA | 05/22/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Commentary on this second of the Culp Collection discs is amazing! Even better than the the first one. Robert Culp gets more into the personal relationships on the show, and the material on Sheldon Leonard, France Nuyen and others is nothing less than fascinating. The behind the scenes material is a real treasure, and the technical information on writing for series television is like a university course. If you're an I Spy fan do yourself a favor and get them both. As usual with this Image Entertainment DVD series the show looks breathtakingly beautiful. They did a superb job on these discs. And Mr.Culp, if you're reading this, thank you for all the great work, and there has to be a behind the scenes book in this milestone series! We're dying to read it!" The War Lord ianhse | 12/02/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Robert Culp is an amazing man with more talent than I can ever put into words in this review. There are two DVD's that are the "Robert Culp Collection" and I think they contain the best of all the I Spy shows. The War Lord and Home to Judgement have always been two of my favorite episodes and in seeing them again, I remember why I have always felt this way.Written and performed beautifully, the candy cane inside the pickle on these two DVD's is commentary by Robert Culp. If you buy no other I Spy DVD's, buy these two."
