Just got the 3 DVD set of the entire series (27 episodes 1 season) of Johnny Stacatto

It was shot in NY in 1959/60 . It is a treat to show the city as it was than. John Cassavetes play Stacatto a Jazz musician who moonlights as a detective. The jazz club combo had a person on the piano you may have heard of. It is John Williams of Star Wars/Jaws fame.

One episode has a super sexy Cloris Leachmans. Another has a than unknown Martin Landau. It is not expensive at all & well worth your time and money.

I've never even heard of that series. But it sounds pretty cool. Almost like Pete Kelly's Blues.

I'll have to check it out.

I have never heard of it either but from what I see, it looks like something I could get into. Thanks!

To show how old I am, I remember the series, well. In fact, it's the first time I can recall seeing Elizabeth Montgomery. Do you have the episode(s) she was on?

I got the set @ deep discount for $ 15

In answer to your question John Boy, yes it has all episodes including the one with her

Some other stars on it:

Geraldine Brooks
Jack Weston
Olive Deering

Another guilty pleasure is season one of Car 54 Where Are You

It is a flat out funny series that was on for 2 years. This one features shots of the bronx & stars like Jan Murray, Molly Picon, Alice Ghostley, Shari Lewis, Charlotte Ray plus Al (Grandpa Munster) Lewis & Nipsy Russell. Lewis & Russell were regulars. Written & created by Nat Hiken of the Phil Silvers show. Price from Amazon was about $ 20 for 30 1/2 hour episodes.

I was tempted by a black and white 1950s New York and a jazz musician detective, but when I read Elizabeth Montgomery appears in it, I was sold!
