A love affair with Denver, 30 December 2005
8/10
Author: lazierfan

Raymond Burr had a great love for Denver and the surrounding area. It shows in this made-for-TV reunion of a popular '70's police drama. All exteriors showed off the town and the coming of age of the Lo-Do area. The film commission (at the time) had to scramble to pick up the buttons that burst from their vest. ...and proud they should be. We continue to host two very major film festivals in the state (Telluride and Denver), and as all festivals spotlight, the indie is gaining in this state. Sayles and Hardgrove are on the short list. They are missed and are welcome back anytime. Raymond Burr and Dean Hardgrove made a series of made-for-TV 'reunions' right here in the Rocky Mountains. Any Perry Mason you see in full color, you are taking in the Denver metro view from Raymond's eye. He lived here and was very hospitable to even the casual fan.

The only contrived moment I could think of was the scenes of the spectacular route of the Southern Pacific/Rio Grande Ski Train (in reality, a route of only 45 miles).. I forgave the movie makers because it WAS beautiful, but to choose a 3-day train ride (as the storyline dictated) over a little snow delay at the airport was laughable. It worked for the story, and it made for great moments consistent with the genre'.
