Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was a feature-length edit of two episodes from 'The Persuaders!' TV series, which explains the jarring two-plot structure.
The show was huge in Europe but flopped in America, partly because Curtis and Moore reportedly loathed each other off-screen despite their breezy on-screen rapport.
