Honey West (Anne Francis) is a lean, blond woman with a fabulous beauty mark on the corner of his mouth and a Derringer in her hand. When not driving around Los Angeles in her little white sports roadster, she slinks about in a variety of designer clothes (courtesy of Nolan Miller), often in connection with the fur of a cat.
Honey West Series
She runs a private detective agency, prior to his late father, and behind his office, she lives in a flashy modern pad so that you do not even have doors, just sliding panels. It has enough cash to supply itself with a battery-Bondia James gadgets, from two-way radios in their lipstick, compact, sunglasses and earrings and tear gas at a small number of chambers of which are monitored by their truck HW & Co. Saeta TV repair. These cameras are the type that exist only in shows like this, they manage to people around the room and even a new cut corners.
Living in the pad is her aunt Meg (Irene Hervey), a middle-aged woman who for the game of anything and always seems to be in the city. There is also a pet ocelot named Bruce (played by himself), which is a transparent symbol for the honey itself. It is a kind of totem or animation, if not the novelist Philip Pullman to call a demon. Aunt Meg and Bruce is only in about half the episodes.
There are also a couple of pet named Sam Bolt (John Ericson), the great voice and tight pants, things that normally monitors the van, he argues with honey as if he thinks it is Lucas, and now and , then beaten someone. Honey and Sam go to dinner and stuff, but it is quite clear that they are not an issue. Unlike Remington Steele and Moonlighting, where a woman-owned agency and had a male partner, all the sexual tension between these two pieces of eye candy remains ambiguous, it is refreshing. Honey seems to spend a lot of nights cuddling Bruce.
Here is a typical episode. Some of the violence soon catches our attention in the pre-credits sequence, which leads to the music of Joseph Mullendore brass snazzy credits for a portfolio of photographs of Sam and Honey posing for action, and multiple headshots honey reflected in a honeycomb. Then comes the plot in which something is being investigated for some people and some bad ones are discovered smuggling or stealing something, or whatever, but all shipments arrived with disarmament or judo karate chops, turning the head Over the heels and give them a chop at the end of the back of the neck. She and Sam nonchalantly walk away with a joke while everyone else is some unconscious or restricted.
Honey makes judo act once or twice an episode, and frankly is what the show is everything. In the series about male heroes, the struggles are endless stuffing an end to the procedure, but the pleasure of seeing different types of honey cap never takes thin.
Honey West was introduced in an episode of Burke’s Law, another private-eye show. It led to a marvel of its own in the 1965-66 season as producer and executive producer Aaron Spelling Richard Newton. The plots are really nothing, but it has two virtues. The first is the visual spectacle of Honey care of itself often with minimal or no help from Sam, but often it is useful enough.
The second is that, since it is only half an hour to get out without a lot of time wasted on false prosecutions and leaks and delayed rescue. In fact, she and Sam dispatch anyone who has so easily drop them, you begin to feel sorry for the poor bastard who tries to any threat with guns and say “Not so fast” or “Come here.” Are before they know what affects them. One exception is a long fight between honey and bad Kevin McCarthy (best known for the invasion of the Body Snatchers), as it is known that martial arts, too.
Honey West is noteworthy as the first series to show a female private detective, although not technically the first crime show to star a woman. (There are, unfortunately, the dark lure with Beverly Garland disguised as a policeman, and an even more fascinating dark crime show, The Gallery of Mme. Lui-Tsong with Anna May Wong, but she seems to have been a fan Sleuth.) It ‘s impressive to see a woman so insouciant and self-defense, even today. American viewers had not seen such a thing, however, from the Honor Blackman episodes of The Avengers never showed in the U.S. and Diana Rigg episodes yet to begin airing in March 1966. Of course, Rigg’s Emma Peel proved even more terrifying that sleek and casually Francisco Honey West (Peel will slam into car trunks boys’ heads), but was far from a slouch Honey.
