Product Description:
A self-made millionaire and living in Boston's posh Beacon Hill area Thomas Banacek (played by George Peppard) has a taste for only the finest things. Being of Polish decent he also loves to recite enigmatic Polish proverbs. Banacek is aided in his efforts by his limo chauffer and gofer Jay (played by Ralph Manza). Jay usually has his own ideas on how the items were taken and also has dreams of recovering the items himself first and get the reward. Banacek also relies heavily on his close friend and bibliophile/bookstore owner Felix Mulholland (played by Murray Matheson) to help in background research. Insurance companies are loath to call on his services for the recovery of lost or stolen insured items because of these fees. Nevertheless they call on him when they get stuck as no one else can solve these impossible cases.Runtime: 576 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: NR UPC: 829567042823 Manufacturer No: 670428

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Better than nothing, but barely
A lot has been said about this low quality presentation of one of the better Mystery movie series, but a few things have been missed.
First, these are not made from the original masters. They are not even made from the prints used in the later run on late night television or the prints used when A&E ran the series in the mid 90s. These seem to be made from the edited prints the Hallmark network used a few years back.
This is a slap in the face to all fans of the ... Read More
Rating:  - Banacek, First Season
Excellent....For those who wish to watch a program that reminds us of yesterday, this is it....It also brought back some mighty nice memories....George Peppard is right on in the title role....He describes himself as a womanizer, that would be putting it lightly....The filming on location lets us see how our cities have changed over the past 35 years....I wish it had the pilot on this set....I had to buy the second season to get the pilot....It was well worth the price....red....
Rating: - As my old Polish grandmother used to tell me....
"Just because the Horse runs with the Bull doesn't make the Series shoot on Location."
Great reviews all, but the numerous citations of the show having been shot "on location in Boston" just ain't necessarily so. A few days worth of shooting was done for the opening credits and some establishing shots (notably the stuff of Peppard rowing on the river) in Boston, but the rest of the show was done either on the Universal back lot and soundstages or various local Southern California spots, ...

Rating: - Banacek Season I & II
When they took Banacek off the air after the second season II was really upset back in the mid-seventies. Out of the four detective series Banacek was the best and Columbo ranked second in my opition with McCloud and McMillian and wife a real distant third and forth. If you never seen the series you are missing one of the best detective series that ever hit the air.
Rating: - Banacek- The First Season
I like the murder mysteries from this era. Columbo, McMillan & Wife, etc. Just entertainment. I don't have to worry what the grandkids will see or hear. No gore, bad language or too much skin showing. This is a great set.
