Hart to Hart: Till Death Do Us Hart (1996)
On a mission of mercy, Jennifer Hart is in Germany to donate bone marrow to Maximilian, a young leukemia patient. Following the operation, she plans to spend a romantic anniversary in Munich with her husband Jonathan. The bone marrow clinic's director, Peter Donner, is surprised by Jennifer's uncanny resemblance to his French fiancée, Simone Grohe. When she goes missing, Jennifer steps in to play the role of Simone to save Peter the embarrassment of an explanation to his cousin and benefactor Karl von Ostenberg at the lavish engagement party. But, of course, it is Karl who kidnapped Simone - in order to control the fate of Peter's inheritance - and now Jennifer is in as much danger as Simone! Once again the Harts tackle danger and mystery with their usual devil-may-care charm and romance

The best till last - I'd say 'Hart to Hart: Till Death Do Us Hart' is my standout of the 'Hart to Hart' film series. It's still, like the preceding seven installments, not good. However, there are definitely parts I didn't mind and kinda liked. When I initially saw what they were doing with the plot I was, you could say, doubly unsure, but after it got going and by the end I almost enjoyed it. There's one 'beauty' of a twist at one point, while it also has an amusing joke right at the death. Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers, for the final time as Jonathan and Jennifer, are sweet together. George Hamilton is a hit-and-miss in his role, yet is satisfactory all in all for what he gives. The support cast are alright - basic, but alright. Despite the fact that I'd class none of these eight productions as good, I actually enjoyed watching them all - if only on a respectful level, thanks to the two leads, rather than anything to do with what the films produce onscreen.
