TV shows or movies?

What are some movies or tv shows about married people who live in a nice rich house and have perfect lives?
"Hart to Hart" is a TV series starring Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers that ran from 1979 to 1984. It is the classic example of a couple of very wealthy people very much in love with each other and very prone to getting involved in murders and other mysteries. They are more than a little influenced by "The Thin Man" movie series. Here are the "Hart to Hart" TV movies:


Hart to Hart: Till Death Do Us Hart (1996)


Hart to Hart: Harts in High Season (1996)


Hart to Hart: Two Harts in 3/4 Time (1995)


Hart to Hart: Secrets of the Hart (1995)


Hart to Hart: Old Friends Never Die (1994)


Hart to Hart: Crimes of the Hart (1994)


Hart to Hart: Home Is Where the Hart Is (1994)


Hart to Hart: Hart to Hart Returns (1993)





William Powell and Myrna Loy star as Nick and Nora Charles in a series of films. He's a private detective, and she's the very wealthy woman he married. They are absolutely wonderful and very funny.


The Thin Man (1934)


After the Thin Man (1936)


Another Thin Man (1939)


Shadow of the Thin Man (1941)


The Thin Man Goes Home (1944)


Song of the Thin Man (1947)





Others that show the wealthy, care-free lifestyle are:


The Happiest Millionaire~musical based on a true story


Stella Dallas~Stella's ex-husband and his second wife


Sabrina (1954)


Sabrina (1995)


My Man Godfrey


I Love You Again (1940)~William Powell and Myrna Loy were teamed up yet another time!


The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (1939)~musical based on real-life couple


The Philadelphia Story


High Society~musical version of film above


You Were Never Lovelier (1942)(musical)


A Damsel in Distress (1937)(musical)


Daddy Long Legs (1955)(musical)


Flying Down to Rio (musical)


Top Hat (musical)





In some of these, they aren't a couple yet, but it's so much fun getting them there! The mansions are fabulous, they dress in wonderful fashions, and they obviously are enjoying being upper class. During the Thirties, people called them white telephone movies because such a phone always seemed part of the decor, along with glossy tiled floors, awe-inspiring staircases and vast rooms.





A number of these are musicals with amazing dance numbers set in spectacular settings. If you love the look of wealth and the idealized, glamorous lifestyle, you might enjoy all of these.





I hope you'll find at least a few of these interesting. I tried to think of other series with wealthy happy people, but most were filled with turmoil, plots and secrets:


In "Dynasty" (1981-89), Blake and Crystal Carrington (John Forsythe and Linda Evans), remained relatively happy and in love, surrounded by all that their money could buy. I don't think many others were content.





"Dallas" (1978-91) had many mega-rich people, but I'm not sure that any of the couples were happy except perhaps Bobby and Pam Ewing (Patrick Duffy and Victoria Principal). Jock and Miss Ellie (Jim Davis and Barbara Bel Geddes) ruled over the clan, and they seemed very much in love. But, I'm not sure that "Dallas" is anywhere near as glossy as "Dynasty" and "Hart to Hart".
