646f9e108c Out for an evening of fun, Jim finds Dennis&#39; son homeless on the street. After giving him some money, lining up an apartment, and getting him a job, Jim soon finds out,wellmuch to Dennis&#39; dismay, that there is more wrong with Scotty than simply being on hard luck. &quot;Godfather Knows Best&quot; is another TV movie featuring The Rockford Files cast, this one also from 1996.<br/><br/>Rockford is dismayed to find that his godson, Dennis and Peggy Becker&#39;s son Scott (Damian Chapa) is homeless. He rents him a room for a month – and guess who the building manager is - Angel - and finds him a job at a restaurant. Scott, it turns out, has a few problems, and Dennis is in denial. <br/><br/>Not long after getting the room, Scotty sublets it and moves into a Buddhist colony.<br/><br/>When a famous fashion designer, Elizabetta Fama (Barbara Carrera) is found murdered, Scott comes under suspicion since she apparently helped him out a couple of times. In fact, her father, a Sicilian don, comes to the U.S. to find out who is responsible, even though he&#39;s a dying man. Jim, meanwhile, doesn&#39;t think that Elizabetta&#39;s arrogant husband (Maxwell Caulfield) is exactly blameless.<br/><br/>A bounty hunter is after Scott for a reward and thinks Rockford knows where he is.<br/><br/>Good movie, with Pat Finley on hand againDennis&#39; wife, and Joe Santos and Stuart Margolin repeating their rolesDennis and Angel. <br/><br/>This isn&#39;t the best of the Rockford Files films, but again, with wonderful acting, cast, and dialogue, it&#39;s delightful to watch.
