Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
boirin Why this series was dropped after only one season is one of those mysteries of behind-the-scenes network politics. As well as providing reliably enjoyable entertainment, it gave us tight-knit plots, great dialogue, well-established character actors, lots of off-beat (albeit sometimes corny) humour, a sizzling onscreen chemistry between the leads and an overall innovative approach to television - in its editing and creative style, and its trailblazing female protagonist. On top of that, the lead actress, Anne Francis, scored a Golden Globe best actress award. So ... it was dropped after one season. Why? For heaven sake why?Yeah, I've read some stuff about the network ratings blunder of showing it a Friday night when most of its potential viewers would have been out for the evening, and producer Aaron Spelling's comparative cost decision of importing The Avengers rather than going to a second season.Whatever. At least we are left with a gorgeous, but sadly limited, TV feast of 30 episodes to look back on.
Dalbert Pringle Meet L.A.'s #1, hardboiled, high-heeled P.I., Honey West. And (as her name suggests) she's a honey-of-a-honey as TV's first, female detective from the male-dominated 1960s.Together with her stud-muffin partner, Sam Bolt, Honey (who's, naturally, a total martial arts expert) kicks ass and rights wrongs from one end of the City Of Angels to the next.And when the day is done - You can always be sure to find Honey and Sam cooling their heels at a local, hip, 60's-style discotheque.Filmed in b&w - This 4-disc set contains all 30, half-hour episodes from Honey West's first and only season (1965-1966).If you ask me - It was all of the unintentional humour that prevailed throughout this TV show that earned its 6-star rating from me. As well, some of Honey West's "James Bond"-style gadgets were good for a chuckle, too. It was especially the walkie-talkie sunglasses that really killed me.*Note* - Anne Francis, who played the Honey West character, died in 2011 at the age of 80.
moorlock2003 I, too, have recently been enthralled by Honey West. I have 4 episodes (complete with glitches) that I watch over and over. This was a wonderful show. The batter is funny, too! Excellent job by all involved. But most of all there is the charming and glamorous Anne Francis. Knowing that Honor Blackman was originally in mind for the role is interesting, as I am a huge fan of the early Avengers episodes with Blackman. Anyone who loves The Avengers will love this show. It is too bad it only lasted one season, as it would have been great to have a color season as well, but what we do have are 30 fine half-hour episodes (plus the introduction of the character on an episode of "Burke's Law".) I am anxiously awaiting the release of "Honey West" on DVD here in America. It is already out in Europe, but a US release is coming in 2008. Can't wait.
svgarvin7 Honey West's sex appeal did indeed sell the show for guys as well as my Dad, however, I remember thinking, here's the first strong and sexy female character who can kick butt too--cool. Makes a woman proud, even though I was 9 yrs old, the impression stuck. I never was attracted to Sam Bolt and his brotherly attentions to Honey was also confusing. I could tell he was attracted to her but their relationship always left me cold. Of course, Honey didn't make any real attempts either. There was no sexual tension. If a 9 yr old can notice that, something's wrong. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the show anyway and I thought the ocelot was cool as well.
