I rank "The Vendetta" as one of the very top episodes of Adam-12, in considerable part because it deals with someone who had suffered under the Ustashe, Croatian Nazi sympathizers who terrorized and mass murdered Yugoslavs during World War II. Their actions even horrified the Nazis, and we're talking about major atrocities.
A tailor is dealing with a former captor, and we follow his tale as he finally encounters his adversary. Fortunately, things turn out as hoped for, and we have Reed and Malloy wrap things up.
Given the recent issues with nationalism in Croatia, this episode seems appropriate, even with Yugoslavia no longer in existence. The episode also deserves a very solid "10" with the performances from Nehemiah Persoff, who remains with us in March 2022 at age 102, as well as Peter Brocco as Fr. Janos.
And in something unrelated as well, we also have an appearance as well of Barbara Nichols. Always a pleasure to see her, even if it is unrelated to the Ustashe main plot. Another fine episode!!!
