It would be nice to see actual actors in films and television "plays", but it seems as if in the Perry Mason tele-movies that to get people to watch they had to go out and bring in "faces" or celebrities..people whose faces were well known and easily recognized..in this case Gordon Liddy, Regis Philbin,Montel Williams..but in this episode the acting by actors is sub-par and irritating..the "actors" act as if they were in a high school play..why would an undercover police operative let herself be taken so easily..why when Ken Mulansky is searching for her in the house he acts as though he's sleep walking and when he finds her he doesn't rush to her side to see if she's still alive, he casually walks over..and when they are aware of the threat at the courthouse, no one bothers to alert anyone that a man is on the way with a gun and to take precautions..there are just so many things that ordinary people would not even do that these professional police or investigators do it just makes for a really annoying episode..I do not make a habit of saying some production is badly done but in this case I make the exception..Sorry, but this is not a well-done entry in the franchise.
