"My father had a closet overflowing with all the episodes on video cassettes," expressed Rumer Willis. It's a delight to avoid the digital scavenger hunt and indulge in the addictive humor once again.
Germans, too, had the opportunity to witness the pair's on-screen chemistry, as the series was broadcast on RTL plus after its final episode in March 1990. Former model and actress Cybill Shepherd joined forces with an increasingly renowned Willis, who had been honing his craft with a few obscure series roles.
As "The Model and the Sleuth" resurfaces on Hulu, fans can reminisce about the charm and humor of Willis' early career, which eventually led to his iconic role as John McClane in "Die Hard" a mere two years later.
