Peter Gunn is a made-for-television crime drama film by Blake Edwards.

It was intended as a pilot to relaunch the Peter Gunn franchise starring Peter Strauss in the Craig Stevens role. The pilot was aired, but a TV series was not commissioned. The idea of a revival began in 1977 when E. Jack Neuman was approached to script a made for TV movie to bring back Craig Stevens to the role. The project collapsed because of Blake Edwards' film schedule. Edwards once again announced a TV movie version in 1984 which was intended to star Robert Wagner in the role. This eventually became the 1989 TV movie with Peter Strauss.

Plot

Detective Peter Gunn is asked by a mob boss to find the murderer of a friend's brother. Although he is working outside from the mob, Gunn is none the less pursued by mobsters, the cops and interested women. The story heats up when Gunn finds information that suggests the cops are being framed.
