    Some Great Guests - and Great Music

    This was a better than average Magnum episode - an easy 8 - but the scene with Leslie Uggams singing Here's That Rainy Day backed by Chuck Mangione added a full 2 points for a 10. The camera work with a close-up on Uggam's face with Mangione out of focus in the background was a nice touch.

    Uniform Goof

    When T.C. is opening his footlocker it reads "1st LT Theodore Calvin," yet it shows him wearing Warrant Officer bars during the episode.

    • Trivia
      The horn player is Chuck Mangione. He is known for his 1977 hit instrumental, "Feels So Good," a song that continues to get airplay forty years later. Starting in the early sixties, he has released over thirty albums. His instrument is not a trumpet, but a flugelhorn, which has a more mellow tone and lower pitch.

      When the Ford LTD drives off of the cliff, a special effects explosive detonator in the car prematurely fires, leaving a trail of smoke coming from the windows prior to the car hitting the edge of the cliff side and then exploding.
