Misplaced the last 6 years
bkoganbing22 August 2017
Bailey&Spencer are doing this one on the house. Myrna Fahey who used to have Jacqueline Beer's old job at the switchboard comes into the office without any memory of the last six years. Only that she killed a man, but even at that the man she's supposed to have killed is dead, but LAPD lists it as an accident.

A very important item is that there's also a husband she's misplaced played here by Philip Carey. The whole agency is in on this one, both Bailey and Spencer and the various operatives and staff.

Do you doubt a murder was committed? The memory of what happened is giving her amnesia. Note the presence of George Kennedy as a baseball loving thug in the cast.

Fahey is very good and Carey is properly vague as if his character could go either way. Check this one out.

A SECRETARY TO REMEMBER.
tcchelsey15 April 2024
One bizarre mystery, well written by series writer Lawrence Kimble, as usual. Popular actress Myrna Fahey plays Janie who used to work for Bailey and Spencer. Now -- six years later -- she returns to the office, unable to remember anything over that period of time -- except she killed a man.

A really strange case that even has Stu and Jeff thinking twice, especially when the LAPD claim the dead man was NOT a homicide victim.

Definitely enough suspects to go around here, which makes this fun, and some excellent acting thanks to veteran director George Waggner. Philip Carey plays Janie's confused husband, also George N. Neise (as Walter) in a very good supporting role. Look for George Kennedy in an offbeat part as Armstrong.

About a year after this episode, Myrna Fahey (who was named after Myrna Loy) made national headlines dating baseball star Joe DiMaggio, also the victim of a stalker who could not accept the fact DiMaggio divorced the late Marilyn Monroe.

A super ending with a baseball bat! Don't miss it.

A classic episode for series fans. SEASON 5 EPISODE 18 remastered. Thanks again to METV for rerunning this legendary series.
