Starsky and Hutch # 040

A great episode. For several different reasons.

Story. Cool. Different from the formula case-of-the-week type (not that there is anything wrong with those!). Basically, Hutch is trapped under his car after a hitman runs him off the road. The early scenes set this up, with Hutch undercover and the police making arrests. With Hutch as the main witness, the villains (John Quade, and Val Bisoglio) arrange a hit.

Pace. Fast. No padding whatsoever. New elements are introduced periodically to drive the story forward (a mentally addled war veteran, a ham radio enthusiast, etc.) and there is always something new and interesting happening.

Directing. This was directed by David Soul and he made some really good choices. The camera angles make the story visually interesting, like when Hutch is show in a mirror in the distance, or the soldier’s face isn’t shown for a long time (building tension). He also does one long cut for an intense scene with Katharine Charles. The camera starts out far away, then gradually moves in as the scene progresses. Gently, unobtrusively, until we are up close with the two people. It’s really rather lovely to watch.

Paul Michael Glaser. Although the screentime is still divided equally, it is Glaser who carries the episode giving an energetic performance as Starsky. Whether in action scenes or just in conversation, the character is full of boundless energy. He seems ready and able to sprint off over the horizon at a moments notice and it is mesmerising to watch.
