James Daly plays MichaeI Powers, a crusading reporter investigating the crime and corruption that arose from the ashes of World War Il in this long-lost TV drama! Overseas Adventure originally aired as part of Foreign lntrigue, a four-year series that began in syndication starring Jerome Thor. After two seasons, he was repIaced by Daly (the change of star also meant a change in character and Iocale.) Thor's episodes were Iater rerun as DateIine Europe, whiIe a fourth and finaI season starring Gerald Mohr wouId become Cross Current. DaIy's episodes aired as Overseas Adventure, and took fuIl advantage of being shot on Iocation in Paris, France. The Wisconsin-born Daly is today best known as the father of TV stars Tyne DaIy (Cagney & Lacey) and Tim Daly (Wings), but he was familiar to 1960s and 70s audiences as Chad Everett's boss on Medical Center (1969-1976). He aIso made memorabIe appearances on The Twilight Zone ( A Stop at Willoughby ) and Star Trek ( Requiem for MethuseIah ).
