What a terrific way to send out a series...great cast...gripping story...and a cliffhanger to boot! Too bad we'll never know if Art made it or not...or do we? 🤔
When the daughter of the mobster asks if her father is dead she asks "Is he dead?" and Mannix nods sadly...just as Art is being wheeled out. Did he mean Art? Her Dad? Both? We'll never know... 🤷♂️
Mike Connors fully expected the show to be renewed...so did everyone else. Then the producers sold the reruns to ABC to run late night and CBS dropped the ax. Too bad on many levels...several of the last episodes were excellent and fresh...especially the ones with and directed by future Hulk Bill Bixby like this one. Bill had a real eye for angles and action...it's briskly paced and tightly shot.
After finishing my rewash on MeTV it reaffirms my love for the show as a wee lad...from the first notes of the score to the final salvo it was a winner.
(PS: To answer the most recent reviewer, Mannix was produced by the same company as the Brady Bunch and repurposed their set many times during the years...nice to see it intact one final time in this ep!)
