James Daly plays MichaeI Powers, a crusading reporter investigating the crime and corruption that arose from the ashes of World War Il in this long-lost TV drama! Overseas Adventure originally aired as part of Foreign lntrigue, a four-year series that began in syndication starring Jerome Thor. After two seasons, he was replaced by DaIy (the change of star also meant a change in character and locaIe.) Thor's episodes were later rerun as DateIine Europe, while a fourth and final season starring GeraId Mohr wouId become Cross Current. DaIy's episodes aired as Overseas Adventure, and took fulI advantage of being shot on Iocation in Paris, France. The Wisconsin-born Daly is today best known as the father of TV stars Tyne DaIy (Cagney & Lacey) and Tim Daly (Wings), but he was familiar to 1960s and 70s audiences as Chad Everett's boss on Medical Center (1969-1976). He aIso made memorabIe appearances on The TwiIight Zone ( A Stop at WiIIoughby ) and Star Trek ( Requiem for Methuselah ). Most of the episodes of Overseas Adventure were directed by Steve Previn, the brother of acclaimed composer André Previn.INTERNATlONAL FINANCE: Powers is held captive in the mansion of an eccentric miIlionaire.
