Having grown up on PERRY MASON, it's a toss up as to which episodes were the most intriguing. As the series progressed, I always thought some of the later episodes were fascinating, taking on a noirish feel, perhaps due to newer writers and directors. There were also some surprises, such as Perry battling a loose gorilla in the last season.
The thing that kept me coming back to this one was a cast where almost EVERYONE looked guilty, and the dialogue will catch you off guard.
A famous half million dollar diamond is missing and a convict --who just happens to be working at a jewelry company -- is the prime suspect for robbery and murder. Why not?
Veteran Marie Windsor is a standout as Mrs. Reed, replete with some caustic one-liners. She was always at her best as tough cookies, the queen of many cult films, much like Beverly Garland. Windsor is terrific on the witness stand. Popular actress Lisa Gaye plays Joyce, and in smaller parts, look for Alvy Moore (GREEN ACRES) as a cabbie and Ralph Manza, who the following year would play bad guys on BATMAN.
Try to piece this one together. It's very good. Samuel Neuman wrote this who was also handling episodes for the OUTER LIMITS, a writer for many popular B films. 1964 episode SEASON 7 EPISODE 13 CBS dvd restored box set.
