    Peter Gunn was an icon of the late 50s and early 60s. The show was smart, stylish with pitch perfect score, atmosphere, and attitude.

    Such a great person was Craig Stevens, I loved watching all of the “Peter Gunn” series, how he came over as a true gentleman and had a personality like Cary Grant and in a certain light he had a look about Cary too. I was certainly born to late to see Peter Gunn in the pictures, I liked the whole era of black and white series. If I could go back into time, I’d like to see these in real life, thank you Craig Stevens for your wonderful work.

    During his days as Peter Gunn, he spoke and looked a lot like Cary Grant, from certain angles. So cool he was.

      Legend has it that Blake Edwards styled Peter Gunn's character after Cary Grant. Their speaking manner is very similar.

    Amazed that people thought well of Peter Gunn 28 years after the show. I ponder what he would think of fans 60 years after the show.

    A real class act. I finally got to see the Gunn movie and now having seen the entire experience of the character (shows and movie) I can't imagine anyone doing it any better. Completely nailed it.

    I cannot believe that Craig Stevens, nor his wife Alexis Smith, STILL do not have stars on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. A genuine disgrace!

    Charming interview. Bright guy. Indelible as Peter Gunn. I loved the scenes between Gunn and Lt. Jacoby (Herschel Bernardi). Those scenes were beautifully written and played. Stevens worked again with Blake Edwards in "S.O.B." I'm thinking Stevens would have been 75 in 1993, the year of the interview. Still very sharp.

    Peter Gunn show was fantastic. He was so handsome, suave, debonair. I'm in awe watching the reruns. I like Lola Albright singing How High The Moon with Shorty Rogers in the band. Handsome Craig and beautiful Lola Albright. They were so cool. The timing, the music, the Peter Gunn shows were wonderful with the terrific West Coast Jazz. Thank you so much.

    He was 77 years old in this interview, but looked more like 57. Recently I've been watching his TV Series ' Man of the World' from 1962. He was excellent as the globetrotting Photo journalist Mike Straight. He made that series right after Peter Gunn.

    I used to watch this show when I was a kid, Peter Gunn theme music was done by Henry Mancini & Lola Albright used to sing on that show, she was a very pretty woman back in the 1950's & Early 1960's she died back in 2017 at the age of 92 yrs old R.I.P. GREG STEVEN'S & MISS LOLA ALBRIGHT GOD BLESS YOUR SOULS.

    Craig Steven was and is a total class act. Still watching Peter Gunn today. I was indirectly first made aware of Peter Gunn (the character) via Commodore 64 computer game (music) called Spy Hunter. Then in high school, we found the MTV music video (Duane Eddy version) by "The Art of Noise" Peter Gunn (outstanding updated sound of the original score) and then many years later(about 1 year ago), found the Peter Gunn TV series on Amazon Prime. Just for Fun Here's the MTV video with the Perter Gunn theme (and C64 game music): ruclips.net/video/tK-vUY6erQU/видео.html

    The interviewer here seems like he would have fit in as one of the characters Peter Gunn would slip a $10 or $20 bill to, in order to get information from, in pretty much every episode.

    Skip is THE most annoying interviewer . . . I can barely tolerate him when I really like the interviewee. Love to hear of a marriage like Craig's and Alexis'. And his Gunn haircut was NOT a butch - it was called an Ivy League. A butch is buzzed like a tennis ball, with maybe a teeny bit in front that got butch waxed.
