Cool Million

By Brian W. Fairbanks

Rotating with Banacek and Madigan on the NBC Wednesday Mystery Movie during the 1972-73 season, "Cool Million" was the least successful of the trio, and only four 90 minute episodes were produced, compared to eight for Banacek and six for Madigan.

The series starred James Farentino, previously seen in "The Lawyers" segment of The Bold Ones, as Jefferson Keyes, a private investigator whose fee was the cool million of the title. "Cool Million" was also the title of the two hour pilot episode that was broadcast the same season in one of the network's movie slots.
