The highlight of this episode is Arlene Martel (Muriel Price / Valerie Price), a true chameleon as an actress. Even though she plays twins in this story, little is made of it, no trickery beyond the camera work. Still, it is a joy to watch her.
Another stand-out acting bit is from Reva Rose (Woman in Apartment), hiding Joe from the thugs chasing him.
There is also Stanja Lowe (Miss Landon), who Don DeFore (Ted Hackett) is grilling at the beginning of the show. She looks a good deal like Hillary Clinton, circa her Secretary of State days. Plus the topic is a perennial, echoing in today's (2023) politics.
This is another Mannix episode where they started to play with the technology, slowing down a video-tape playback to count rotary-dial "clicks" to reveal the true phone number dialed. Thus revealing the killer, with further video to capture the confession. As for the killer pulling a gun after his confession, arrogant/narcissistic types don't always think straight when cornered.
