First episode of Season 5.
Having seen this episode when it came out in 1971, it's good, minus the brass knuckles. Also you have one of the best directors and writers in the business behind it. 9 Stars.
Excellent cast, featuring Rosemary Forsythe, playing Leslie, in a very sympathetic role. She has a drinking problem and is caught up in a murder investigation, killing an intruder who entered her home. The question is did she really do it? Stay tuned...
More of a dramatic slant, and you feel sorry for Leslie as her life is snowballing. Forsythe, a former model, later became a series regular on SANTA BARBARA and DAYS OF OUR LIVES. Veteran actress Josephine Hutchinson plays her mom, who appeared in scores of classic films, even the SON OF FRANKENSTEIN. Robert Reed returns as Tobias, taking time off from the BRADY BUNCH, a job he was not too thrilled with.
John Llewellyn Moxey directed, who scared all us kids back in the day with such tv movies as the HOUSE THAT WOULDN'T DIE (1970) starring Barbara Stanwyck. And many more. Robert Lenski wrote this drama, a regular writer for CANNON and BARNABY JONES. He also wrote the famous 70s tv serial THE DAIN CURSE.
In the spot the old time actor; K. T. Stevens plays a nun, Sister Angela. Stevens was the daughter of the famous director Sam Wood, appearing in his own films as a child, which may include GONE WITH THE WIND where he served as assistant director.
Beautifully filmed, for all us archair sightseers, at the famous King Gillette Ranch (the razor king) at Calabasas, about 27 miles from LA, near Thousand Oaks. Gillette built his mansion here back in the 1920s and spent a ton of money on real estate in the area. A magnificent place to shoot films and tv shows.
For fans of Rosemary Forsythe, for sure, who would appear three times on the series. SEASON 5 EPISODE 1 remastered CBS/Paramount dvd box set.
