A Dual Role for Rene
kgraovac2 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
An early role for Rene Auberjonois who plays both a corrupt wealthy executive and his nerdy, insecure twin who is addicted to alfalfa pills and -- like the Billy Joel song -- "wants to be a big shot".

William Smith provides the muscle in his standard henchman role. He has a fight with Pete, who surprisingly holds his own.

Linc puts all the pieces together in this one. Julie doesn't really contribute anything to the episode.

Jay Novello has a small role as a safecracker. He also played one on THE LUCY SHOW in 1963. Here he employs a cockney English accent, which I found kind of jarring. He is best known for portraying Italian characters.

The split-personality plot was done much better in other shows of the '70s, so this one is just average but still worth seeing once. 7/10.
