Gunn - 1967 - 6/10

A retired mob boss is liquidated on his boat.
Even though the new cartel warns him, Peter Gunn owed the old man.
And as the new chief starts squeezing, casino owners cry for help.
Reboot of the vintage TV series seems out-of-step from the start.
1967, the Summer Of Love, yet the interiors are Jazz clubs and gangsters in fedoras.
The mystery angle is good, great twist, Stevens laid back (seems too old to lure the ladies, though).
For the cult of Sherry Jackson, she has a meaty role and is as intoxicating as ever.
Look for Carol Wayne at the end.
