Expert con artist Dudley Jerico sets out to switch the famous Gemini diamond owned by a corrupt South American millionaire so he can sell it back under the guise of it being the Gemini's twin. However, before the deal can be done, a Mademoiselle Claudine arrives from Paris saying she has the twin of the Gemini diamond to sell him. One of them is lying… but who is it?
- HUSTLE: Long before con-artist TV series became the the fashion, MISTER JERICO's
fast-moving adventure and comic situations honed in on the James Bond
franchise with
the audacious exploits of the elegant titular anti-hero. A pilot for a proposed
TV series,
this feature-length movie is a glimpse at what never was, but could
have been.
- AVENGING: Produced by many of the crew who worked on the stylish, hit British series
THE AVENGERS, MISTER JERICO stars AVENGERS star Patrick Macnee and
features
Herbert Lom from THE PINK PANTHER films and popular American actress/singer
Connie Stevens (HAWAIIAN EYE).
- ISOLATED SCORE: The funky, swinging music score from MISTER JERICO (by THE
AVENGERS / THE PROFESSIONALS composer Laurie Johnson) is included as an
isolated
soundtrack.
