Dick and the Duchess
''Dick and the Duchess'' is a 1950s CBS situation comedy filmed and set in London, England, and starring Patrick O'Neal and Hazel Court.〔Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh, ''The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network TV Shows, 1946-Present'', New York: Random House, 1992, p. 224〕 O'Neal, a cousin of actor Ryan O'Neal, starred as Dick Starrett, an American insurance claims investigator based in London, who is married to Jane, an attractive patrician Englishwoman whom he calls "Duchess". Court was also known for her roles in horror films. Sheldon Reynolds was the executive producer of the series, filmed by Associated-Rediffusion Television.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Dick and the Duchess'' title page )〕
Twenty-six episodes aired between September 28, 1957, and March 22, 1958. The series aired in Britain during the following 1958–1959 season. In the story line, Jane's family had difficulty accepting Dick both as an American and a "commoner". Jane often got involved in a comical vein in Dick's insurance cases. Beatrice Varley appeared in a supporting role as Mathilda. Richard Wattis was cast as Peter Jamison, Dick's friend and office associate, in three episodes entitled "Maude", "The Wild Party", and "Bank Robbery". Michael Shepley played Inspector Stark of Scotland Yard, who sometimes helped Dick with his cases. English actor Ronnie Stevens appeared as Rodney, an employee in Dick's office.〔
Series guest stars were mostly English actors. Margaret Rutherford, for instance, appeared as Cynthia Gordon in the 1957 episode "The Kissing Bandit".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Episode list of ''Dick and the Dutchess'' )〕
