I'm working my way through the entire series and am now, sadly, reaching the end! Most weekday afternoons I retire to my "Manshed" and watch an episode with a large cigar (I think William Conrad would have approved!) Wonderful trips down memory lane.
Anyway, I found this episode to be one of the best. I appreciated the bullish, no-nonsense nature of the client (played with great gusto by Alan Feinstein), the tough woman boss (excellent Vera Miles) so different from her performance as the damsel in distress in the pilot. And great to see former Tarzan, Denny Miller roll Cannon out of his office and give him a thrashing. I love that on his next visit to see him, Cannon held a ship-in-a-bottle for protection!
The plot has been covered by other reviewers but I thought it moved at a great pace and was extremely well directed.
Cannon is really up against it in this one and takes more lumps that usual. The conclusion may not be a great surprise but the whole show is well acted and stands up really well.
Don't be put off by the other very low ratings; this one is a corker!
