Coming to DVD in a new 14-disc set: Checkmate--The Complete Series
! Created by thriller writer Eric Ambler and filmed on the streets of San Francisco, Checkmate is considered one of the best TV dramas to come out of the 1960s, combining great scripts, locations and casting. The series -- which starred Doug McClure, Sebastian Cabot, and Anthony George -- revolves around private investigators and their quest to prevent crimes before they happen. The show's haunting, iconic music, composed by John Williams, is perfectly suited for Checkmate's San Francisco setting, of fog-filled streets, sweeping ocean views and cable cars.
