How can one even begin to summarize or review this masterpiece of an episode. For one thing, At the end of the hour, I felt as if I had been watching the intrigue for a much longer time. It was that good...there were no superfluous events nor any red herrings to led you astray.
The plot was also unconventional and a mighty welcome respite from the normally formulaic programs produced by 'Paisano Productions'. There were unexpected turns and twists and what apparently looked like location shots and then, there was the finale: absolutely chilling in a delightful way. I actually laughed out loud for a bit after its conclusion. It was THAT good.
I was equally impressed with the superb acting of all involved. There are too many to mention but, JULIE ADAMS and JOAN TOMPKINS were at the top of their game.
I have now watched at marathon of almost all of the episodes in one nearly continuous feast of Perry Mason. So far, just 185 episodes. I have been satisfied with each and every one and bowled over by just a couple dozen. But this one was one of the most fascinating episodes of all. I will never get around to ranking them all but this one, will definitely rank in the TOP 5 if I ever do!
