more retro rewinds

“Scarface” (Peacock, streaming): As overboard as he goes with his performance as mobster Tony Montana, it’s entirely fitting for Al Pacino within the context of director Brian De Palma’s 1983 melodrama, also known for its extreme violence. This surely is one of Pacino’s most iconic roles, and you can see traces of it in some of his later projects (the excellent “Heat” being one of them). He teamed here for the first time with Michelle Pfeiffer, with whom he later reunited in the vastly different “Frankie & Johnny”; Steven Bauer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Robert Loggia also star.

“Magnum, P.I.” (GetTV, Monday, June 26): A couple of popular detective shows merged in the episode “Ki’i’s Don’t Lie,” with Jameson Parker and Gerald McRaney visiting Hawaii in their “Simon & Simon” roles as they collide with Magnum (Tom Selleck) on a case. Morgan Fairchild also guest stars.

“Cheers” (Catchy Comedy, Monday, June 26): For those who know this sitcom’s history, the Season 2 episode “Old Flames” offers an interesting casting twist. The main guest star is Fred Dryer (“Hunter”), who tested to play this show’s Sam before Ted Danson got the part.

“Victor/Victoria” (Turner Classic Movies, Friday, June 30): Director Blake Edwards’ sensationally entertaining 1982 on an earlier German film is a fabulous showcase for his wife, Julie Andrews, as a down-on-her-luck singer who finds success in 1930s Paris as a woman posing as a man posing as a woman. (Got that?) Robert Preston is wonderful as her co-conspirator in the scheme, and Andrews also has a swell reunion with her “The Americanization of Emily” co-star James Garner. The picture boasts a score by Henry Mancini and Leslie Bricusse.
