I agree that Charlton Heston wasn't the man for this role, I had "the advantage" of watching/having to watch the French version, as such I didn't have to listen to "American English English". On the other hand I found his disguises superb. The action and the "end game" both made the film well worth watching. There are many films where the "baddy" becomes obvious - this is not one of them!

Richard Johnson plays a believable John Watson. The Watson role is difficult to play in the sense that he is an educated man, so shouldn't appear stupid, just less capable of crime deduction. But we shouldn't forget that doctors are experts in deducing illnesses from the symptoms of their patients. Connie Booth is a lovely lady - a pleasure to see everything she's in!

Having watched all of the Charlie's Angels series/films I find this one to be the best of all. Certainly, like the others, there are a whole load of contrived situations. They all seem to be able to find jobs overnight in the situation targeted - just like the previous Angels. I wonder how much of all three productions used body doubles/stand-ins. I noticed that Drew Barrimore (of Charlie's Angels from 2000 and its follow up - Full Throttle 2003) was executive producer for this series. Shame that there won't be a second series. Interesting too was the choice of "Bosley" (Ramon Rodriguez) - he seems to better fit the "job" than did David Doyle (1976 series).
