Dan Dailey guest stars in this episode of The Untouchables where he goes against type and is the villain who runs a training school for hit men. In this one Dailey is way ahead of his time, his killers aren't street punks, if they were that part of their persona has been drilled out of them.
In this assassin's school these kids are trained in martial arts and all kinds of weaponry. Robert Stack's Untouchables are brought into the story when one of his pupils kills a mob boss as a contract hit from another boss played by the ever reliable Ted DeCorsia in these kind of roles.
But Dailey is a real cool customer here. He's walking with a limp and uses a cane and he can't do assignments, but he can teach and he teaches well.
Dailey is cast way against type, but plays it well. Only in the beginning of his career in films like The Mortal Storm and Ziegfeld Girl did you see Dailey playing villains like these. Check this one out the next time it's broadcast.
