This is a very good,later episode. It takes a cynical but comical look at the modeling/fashion industry and all the unusual characters (and some creeps) that flitter about the edges. This is an interesting episode that does have some comical aspects despite the unhappy storyline.
I was not familiar with Rene Auberjonois before seeing him in this tv show,and after watching him on this episode I am impressed. He played the part of a smarmy/sleazy fashion designer with a natural,easy and understated style. The culmination at the end is a fashion show that must be seen to be believed,I thought it was pretty dog-gone funny. Check out an early and welcome appearance of Erin Gray before she was on 'Buck Rogers',she does a fine job. James Garner is his usual,great and reliable self,making for a very good episode of a great show. Check it out !
