An odd picture of Tom Selleck as Magnum

#1 Post by Reef monkey »

Magnum on the beach, hair still wet from swimming, talking on the phone - except it's a corded phone with the cord just taken out. It's like the scene called for him to be talking on a cordless phone but the props department didn't have one, so they grabbed the nearest corded phone and unplugged it.

My essay "In Country: Place and Historical Connection in Magnum PI", about the importance of the Honolulu/Vietnam connection in the show:
