1987 NBC. "Nickey the Rose." Michael Woods, Josh Brolin period detective show. Anthony Yerkovich created. Bill Sadler, Lisa Jane Persky. Guest stars: Al Molinaro as Nickey, Susan Blakely, David Kagen, James Lashly, Jonna Lee, Michael Pataki. Ex-cop turned private eye in 50s L.A. Josh Brolin is the rock star wannabe sidekick. Lisa Jane Persky is the secretary and Bill Sadler is the cynical cop.
Jack Cleary is hired by a movie star (Susan Blakely) to follow her gangster boyfriend Nickey. Nickey is about to take over the movie studio unions for the mob, but is attracting unwanted attention with his associations and lifestyle. This is very much like the Lana Turner/Johnny Stompanato case with Jonna Lee as the daughter.
The music and noir photography add a lot to the atmosphere of this series. I had watched the pilot before on Youtube. This is a good show. Thirteen episodes were made. I think they are all online.
