    “Rebecca,” starring Joan Fontaine and Laurence Olivier, is among the classic titles not available on streaming.

    LOS ANGELES — The implicit promise of the streaming era is that everything you could possibly want to watch can be accessed in an instant, the endless, all-you-can-eat bounty of Hollywood just a click (and a subscription fee) away.

    Try telling that to Glenn Gordon Caron.

    A veteran TV producer, Caron created the 1980s detective series "Moonlighting," which earned critical acclaim and strong ratings in its day for its innovative blend of fourth-wall-breaking screwball comedy, mystery and romance. Over its five-season run, the series pulled in 41 Emmy nominations, influencing many shows that followed and launching a previously all-but-unknown Bruce Willis — whose snappy, sexually charged banter with co-star Cybill Shepard captivated viewers — to megastardom.

    But despite years of lobbying by Caron, "Moonlighting" has yet to appear on any streaming platform, held up by the high cost of clearing the rights to the large amount of music used in the show. Caron has felt last year with frontotemporal dementia, ending his legendary career.
