West...James West
6 May 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This two part episode comes closest in my opinion to a 'Bond' film. We have at least three different villains including a diabolical big headed mastermind who is intent on destroying the good ol' U S of A with hypnosis and assassination who lives in a vast underground hide-out that is destroyed in the end. We have great guest actors like Harry Lauter who was in just about every TV show made including Robert Conrad's 'Hawaian Eye'.

We get Bernard Fox from Hogan's Heroes as one Dr Occularis who kills himself with a backward firing gun and Robert Ellenstein who was so memorable in North by North West as another Dr Occularis.

Jackie Coogan, the former child star, shows up as the mayor and William Schallert who had been in two previous Wests plays Jame's assistant Frank Harper

He's no Arte, who is still missing in action, but his performance is to be admired. This would be the only two part Wild and a good time is had by all. Most enjoyable.
