On 13 September 1964 the American
television series “The Rogues” premieres on NBC. The series,
created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts, stars David Niven, Charles
Boyer, Gig Young, Robert Coote and Gladys Cooper. The three leads,
Niven, Boyer and Young, rotated in the episodes as their schedules
permitted. Gig Young starred more shows since he was less busy
otherwise than David Niven or Charles Boyer. The series was cancelled
after one season, a total of thirty episodes were produced.

Opening Credits
The one thing I remember about this series was in one episode Charles Boyer spoke in German and wanted to say he was sorry ("Es tut mir Leid"). It came out as "Es tut mir Lied" ("It does me song.) Wish I could find out which episode that was and hear that clip again.
