Dusty says Harv’s her man

One last one for tonight. While Bob Urich was da man as far as private eyes went, how many of us my age didn’t think they were the Bionic Man in the playground (when they weren’t being Jon and Ponch)? But I don’t remember this TV movie, where Dusty Springfield tells us that Steve Austin was ‘the man’, ‘my man’, and ‘one of a kind’ in a song cooked up by Glen A. Larson and company. Co-starring Richard Anderson as Oscar Goldman (the first Jewish-named boss on telly that I can remember), whose suits were oh-so-cool then, and way better than Lee Majors hyphen Majors’. I thought Martin Balsam was in this, but evidently my memory doesn’t serve me correctly.
   For some reason, ‘The Deadly Replay’ sticks in my mind. I think actress Lara Parker, MA (Angelique in Dark Shadows) was the reason for that: she was one pretty guest star.

   Again, 1970s typography abounds: nicely spaced in a modernist way, set in Novarese’s Eurostile Bold Condensed—these were all shared with the eventual series. Those I can handle, but I think the song has dated terribly.
