Inspector Nardone
The Complete Series
Exiled from the Naples police department for being a whistleblower, Chief Inspector Mario Nardone (played by Sergio Assisi) finds himself transferred to postwar Milan, which is fast becoming the breeding ground for a new criminal scene. Thieves and outlaws from across Europe are moving in to exploit the battered citizens of a city emerging from war. He may not be able to find a good cup of coffee in his new city, but Nardone is committed to its safety and will do anything to protect its people.
With his small squad of like-minded men, he fights crime and corruption wherever he finds it. Sometimes the rot is in the police department, and sometimes it's in the brothels, nightclubs and back alleys of Milan.
He finds sanity in the arms of the beautiful and intelligent Eliana, a woman who challenges his old-fashioned Neapolitan thinking and makes him laugh.
Inspector Nardone is based on the real-life figure who was a true legend in Milan during the 1950s and 60s, known for his unflinching moral code and his great sense of humanity.
The 12 episodes in this DVD set, which aired earlier this year in Italy, is in Italian with English subtitles.

Maigret (France)
Set 5
Bruno Cremer brings the beloved Parisian Inspector Maigret to life in this definitive series of filmed adaptations of legendary writer Georges Simenon s bestselling crime novels.
Sporting his pipe that seems a nod to Sherlock Holmes, the pragmatic, reserved and refined Maigret investigates murders in his singular unhurried manner and inevitably discovers the truth.
To crack his cases he peels back the veneer of seemingly idyllic villages and neighborhoods, exposing the criminals who lurk in all levels of society.
Against a backdrop of 1950s Paris and the surrounding French countryside, these original feature-length films pay homage to one of the most brilliant detective minds of the twentieth century.
The six episodes in this DVD set, which originally aired in France in 1995 and 1996, are in French with English subtitles.

Perry Mason
Season Eight (Volume 1)
Raymond Burr stars as Perry Mason, an attorney who specializes in defending seemingly indefensible cases.
With the aid of his secretary Della Street and investigator Paul Drake, he often finds that by digging deeply into the facts, startling facts can be revealed.
Often relying on his outstanding courtroom skills, he often tricks or traps people into unwittingly admitting their guilt.
Airing on CBS in the Fall of 1964, the first half of this eighth season is comprised of 15 episodes.
