Perry Mason: The Case of the Wednesday Woman (1964)
Season 7, Episode 13
7/10
A Tale of Two Lisa Gayes
14 June 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This isn't really one of my favorite PMs but it will remain saved in my DVR as long as possible for one reason: the lovely Lisa Gaye.

This is the fourth of six Perry Mason guest appearances for Ms. Gaye and she is quite lovely as always. No, she doesn't appear in a bathing suit as she does in "Travelling Treasure" nor does she look as striking as she did in "Gulity Clients", but she is still a charmer every second her beautiful face is on the screen.

The explanation of my title for this review is that there are two distinct performances by this sexy actress in this episode. In the first she is terrific as a scheming secretary who is hounded by the nerdish lab technician. But in the second performance on the witness stand during the trial she unfortunately goes overboard in her tearful and shouting denials of guilt in the murder at issue.

But... as I am an admitted devotee of Lisa I will forgive her and look back on this episode from time to time, fast-forwarding to her scenes in the office and enjoying her sheer loveliness.

As for the rest of the episode, it doesn't really stand out for me, just another pretty good episode of a great show.
