I have little else to say..Well, just that Bette Davis is always worth watching, and Michael Parks sure was drop dead gorgeous (to restate my opinion). (And I'd prefer not to find out whatever happened to him, or where he is now..If he is still alive). One more thing, he was a fine actor.
As for this episode, I always find the Perry Mason series to be head and shoulders above just about anything else, certainly any long term series, that has ever been on television. That it has weathered the generations says something. The interplay between Ray Collins and Raymond Burr (not seen here) was some of the best irony on television. Fine performances, a plot that always makes you care about the people involved. It's always easy to find fault, but the consistent quality of this show is remarkable. We watch as Ms. Davis grows increasingly interested in the young man's problems. And not altogether surprisingly, by helping him, she solves her own. Very rewarding for the audience, in every way.
