**SPOILERS** In case anyone missed it, the models in this episode are at least two classes behind Della. Stay tuned, Barbara fans. John Anderson drives a Ford station wagon with whitewall tires and a cardboard sign advertising his construction company?? The taxi stand that Loretta call for a cab from has the name of the company very crudely painted out (probably with housepaint so they could remove it easily. Props department gets a demerit for that flaw.
Loretta was driving a stolen car (Plymouth Savoy), did they investigate that? Nope. It just laid there. The party Loretta was hosting was a sex hook-up for modeling clients (terrible witnesses), everyone there would have denied being there. Barbara does a great job of tripping when they were running from the doberman guard dogs. Most of the time, it's a laughable stunt when the girl trips, so the hero can rescue her or the monster (or murderer) can get her;, but this was very realistic - she was wearing high heels, and George and Perry were already holding on to her arms. This part of the scene shows what a terrific actress Barbara was.
Right from jump street, Perry knew that Loretta and Frank (snake oil voice),were lying, and he gave them a warning; they didn't get it. The gun is NOT good evidence. There is NO connection between George and Dawn; it would have been thrown out as evidence against George. Blood? George told Perry that the suit hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and explained a possible cause of the old blood drops. If George had been in the service, his type would have been on his dog tags. No doubt THAT link was gone. The stolen car. The timing of the divorce and re-marriage did not fit. *SPOILER*
From this point, Perry systematically disassembles Loretta and Frank's testimonies, and clearly leads them into positively incriminating themselves. It was clear that he didn't just want to get his client off; which he could have done easily just using the evidence I've shown; but wanted to nail down the guilty parties. It was delightful. What about the paid-off building inspectors?? Borden was a conniving crook, and as we all know "Bad friends bring bad luck" (Don Vito Corleone).
One part I was very interested in was when Perry called Della as a witness. She confirmed some details, and Burger declined to cross-examine her. This is the second time that the story line in the case involves pin-up models. In this episode, as well as the other (I can't remember the name of the episode) the actresses are simply no where near as good looking as Beautiful Della. One point is that Barbara Hale was so pretty and accomplished that she herself had been a photographer's model. Gil Elvgren used her a couple of times; one I believe was called "Have a heart", a Valentine's Day work. She also modeled for several other major product lines, as well as being a representative for Amana corporation. I wonder whet SHE thought of the furor over any aspersions cast upon these models...
