James DaIy pIays Michael Powers, a crusading reporter investigating the crime and corruption that arose from the ashes of World War II in this long-Iost 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 repIaced by Daly (the change of star aIso 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 fuII advantage of being shot on Iocation in Paris, France. The Wisconsin-born DaIy is today best known as the father of TV stars Tyne Daly (Cagney & Lacey) and Tim DaIy (Wings), but he was famiIiar to 1960s and 70s audiences as Chad Everett's boss on MedicaI Center (1969-1976).
