A job well done Eleanor Parker says in this compilation of a two-part episode that ended the series, and indeed, it is not quite a job well done but an amusing one at least. They really went overboard in some campy casting with the life of over-the-top performances by Parker, Leslie Nielsen, Ruth Warrick. Hugh Marlowe and Peter Mark Richman, among others. Parker is the wife of Barry Sullivan, one of the agents from Robert Vaughn and David McCallum's agency, suddenly involved in a plot to take over the world along with Nielsen, of course making the audience laugh simply through his serious presence, a ridiculous plotline that really doesn't get going until halfway through the film. That's when the red robes appear which is one of the campiest costumes in TV history.
Inger Stratton as a young ingenue here seems like Georgia Engle's long-lost sister with her barely able to hear voice, and Warrick is the wife of scientist Dan O'Herlihy who is kidnapped by Nielsen, Sullivan and his gang right in front of her and their son Tony Bill. For some reason, Warrick's hair is dyed an odd shade of red so she looks closer to Myrtle Fairgate than her "All My Children" character of Phoebe Tyler. This film is action-packed but full of silliness, and it definitely is entertaining enough to pass 90 minutes without becoming cumbersome. But it's also not very challenging, unless you consider stifling a laugh in serious moments to be a challenge.
