Featured review
WAY, WAY OVER THE TOP CASE FOR CANNON.
Number one: Watch the ending. One of a kind.
Number two: A tribute to writer Stephen Kandel, who passed in 2023 at age 96. Fondly remembered.
Kandel wrote for BATMAN and STAR TREK, 10 episodes for CANNON, 11 for MANNIX and 11 MEDICAL CENTER, and at the time was also writing for HARRY O.
Truly an adventure. Leslie Charleson (as Joan), hires Cannon to find her missing future husband, best described as a Howard Hughes type; rich, eccentric and elusive. More over, his employees claim he wants nothing more to do with her.
I took one point off as there remains a poking question. Is Joan genuinely in love with this guy, or is it the money and plush lifestyle? A few reviewers have brought this up, and I agree, that's the confusing part for which there really is no answer. Let's remain optimistic.
A few years later, Leslie Charleson went on to co-star (as Monica) on GENERAL HOSPITAL, making a career out of her long association with the soap opera.
The rest of cast runs with it. Robert Quarry (famous as COUNT YORGA, the Vampire) plays Dr. Jeffries. William Prince, soap opera star in his own right, plays Brock, and lookin' mighty suspicious. Guest of honor is perky Estelle Winwood as the wise senior lady of the house. Estelle was an enormously popular character actress and no doubt worked with William Conrad at Warner Brothers/ABC tv.
I think Estelle has the most fun with her role (and with Conrad) in this real offbeat story. It shows. That said, this is all leads to a sobering climax, one you have to see.
Yes, in answering the last reviewer. Cannon used karate on many bad guys, NOT just this episode. I have always said that maneuver was inspired by Mannix, and since Stephen Kandel also wrote for that show, it's no surprise.
Did you spot it?
Look for a poster headlining Connie Stevens as THE SEX SYMBOL. The famous tv movie about Marilyn Monroe came out about this time, and Connie worked with Bill Conrad (as director and producer) in TWO ON A GUILLOTINE, TEMPLE HOUSTON and HAWAIIN EYE. A fitting salute to a fine actress and singer.
Parts filmed at the famous Pasadena mansion on La Loma Road, used by many film companies. SEASON 4 EPISODE 11 remastered color CBS/Paramount dvd box. 2016 release. Same box design as MANNIX.
