The Persuaders

.





The Persuaders! are two equally-matched men from different backgrounds who reluctantly team together to solve cases which the courts cannot.

* Danny Wilde (Tony Curtis) is a rough diamond, educated and moulded in the back slums of New York City, who escaped by enlisting in the U.S. Navy. He later became a millionaire in the oil business.
* Lord Brett Sinclair (Roger Moore) is a polished Harrow and Oxford educated English aristocrat; an ex-racing car driver, who addresses his comrade-in-arms as "Daniel".

(Curtis himself suffered a tough childhood in the Bronx, and served in the US Navy. He was 46 when he made The Persuaders, but performed all his own stunts and fight sequences.)
