Posing as a playboy, the only one who knows Jeff's secret is his chauffeur, Rocky, a former boxer. A lost gem of Sixties television, \u003ci\u003eMiami Undercover\u003c\/i\u003e briefly ran in syndication in 1961. Its star, Lee Bowman, had specialized in playing dashing sophisticates while under contract to Columbia in the 1940s. He often romanced the loveliest leading ladies, including Rita Hayworth in \u003ci\u003eCover Girl\u003c\/i\u003e and Jean Arthur in \u003ci\u003eThe Impatient Years\u003c\/i\u003e (both 1944.) On television, he'd been the first actor to portray Ellery Queen (on the DuMont Network's \u003ci\u003eThe Adventures of Ellery Queen\u003c\/i\u003e, 1950-1955.) Famed boxer Rocky Graziano was the middleweight champion of the world from 1947 to 1948, and essentially played himself in the series. Owing to his reputation as one of the greatest knockout artists in boxing history, Rocky usually got to punch someone's lights out in every show. The majority of the episodes were directed by Howard W. Koch, who later found great success as the producer of \u003ci\u003eThe Manchurian Candidate\u003c\/i\u003e (1962), \u003ci\u003eThe Odd Couple\u003c\/i\u003e (1968) and \u003ci\u003eAirplane!\u003c\/i\u003e (1980). All 38 shows were filmed on location in Miami. The tropical weather, where \"anyone can go native in a half hour,\" meant that the curvy B-movie actresses who guest-starred didn't hesitate about getting into swimsuits.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e THE THRUSH:\u003c\/b\u003e  A disc jockey is murdered after refusing to take payola from gangsters.
