This is from a 1989 TV movie written and directed by Blake Edwards, who was responsible for the original 1950s B&W TV show.
The stupidity of the electrocution scene at the beginning of the show is merely a prelude of what is to come.
Peter Strauss is Peter Gunn (seriously) ... terrible!
When I saw this show originally, I couldn't figure out when it was taking place. I think it was taking place "back then," but I haven't watched it in many years, I could be wrong.
I should watch it again soon, because I should review it for my Peter Gunn WWW page (http://www.petergunn.tv).
Music for this show was by Mancini, like the original series, though there was no soundtrack album released.
There was another attempt to revive Peter Gunn in 1967, a theatrical movie with Craig Stevens as the titular character.
It was just called Gunn, directed by Edwards and co-written by him and William Peter Blatty, a soundtrack album by Mancini was released on RCA.
As far as I am aware, this show has never been released on DVD or Blu Ray in North America, but it was in England.
It is pretty bad.
